A Galician brewery in its fifth generation, making the same pale lager since 1906.
José María Rivera Corral came back to A Coruña in 1906 after years in Cuba and Mexico, where he had run a grocery in Veracruz called La Estrella de Oro. He named his brewery after it — La Estrella de Galicia — and for the first years it made ice as well as beer.
The company that grew out of it is Hijos de Rivera, and it is still entirely owned by the same family, now in its fifth generation. Everything is still brewed in A Coruña, with Galician water.
The 0,0 is a pale lager in the Spanish manner rather than the German one — maize alongside the barley, lighter through the middle, less insistent on hops. It is made by interrupting the fermentation, so the alcohol is never produced rather than stripped out afterward.
