About

Estrella Galicia Especial was born in 1972 as 'Especial Rivera' and became the flagship beer of Hijos de Rivera, a brewery in A Coruña, Galicia, brewing since 1906. This bright golden lager balances malt and hop character with clarity and purpose. The beer blends Pilsen malt with roasted malts, using Spanish Nugget hops and German Perle hops. The brewing process stretches beyond twenty days, with extended maturation to develop its clean, refreshing profile. The palate shows subtle floral and herbal notes alongside a distinctive hoppy bite that lingers without overwhelming. A straightforward, approachable lager that reflects decades of Galician brewing craft.
