The barley used to make the malt comes directly from farmers in the Ebro river basin. It is malted at the company’s own malthouse in Belloch, making Estrella Damm the only Spanish brewery and one of few in the world that still produces all of its malt from barley in its own [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthouse malthouse]. Moreover, the brewing process faithfully adheres to the original recipe and uses round grain rice — a typically Mediterranean ingredient, which helps to give Estrella Damm its characteristic flavour.<br /> |

== Tasting Notes == |
|||
By Ferran Centelles and David Seijas, sommeliers at the restaurant elBulli: "A golden beer, with amber shades and some greenish lowlights. It is clean and brilliant, with fine, abundant bubbles that rise quickly to the long-lasting, pale-coloured head. |
|||
It has an enveloping nose of fresh spices. Toasted notes bring character to the final impression. It has a soft mouthfeel as its effervescence is well-integrated and it fills the palette with dense, toasted cereal notes. Its lively acidity makes it utterly refreshing. The final bitter tone in the mouth gives it a lasting aftertaste."<br /> Alcohol content: 5.4% volume; Maturation period: between 3 and 4 weeks.<br /> |
|||
== Serving Tips == |
|||
To enjoy this beer to its fullest, it should be served in a glass with a slightly narrow opening. The ideal serving temperature is between 4 and 6 ºC.<br /><br /> |
|||
== Music and Art == |
|||
Estrella Damm is a major force in Spain’s cultural scene thanks to the support and sponsorship it provides for different music festivals, graphic artists and fashion shows, among other things. |
|||
'''Music''' |
|||
In this category it’s worth mentioning Barcelona’s International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art, otherwise known as [http://www.sonar.es Sónar], which attracts enthusiasts from all over the world each year, as well as more major artists from the world of electronic music, such as Roxy Music, LCD Soundsystem, The Chemical Brothers and Air, who performed at the 2010 festival. |
|||
Estrella Damm is also well-known for providing the soundtrack to the Mediterranean summer, with summer music videos by alternative groups. |
|||
Last year, the brand launched the music video Summercat by the Swedish group [http://www.billiethevision.com Billie the Vision and the Dancers], which paid tribute to great summer moments spent on one of the Mediterranean’s most idyllic islands, Formentera. |
|||
In 2010, Estrella Damm wanted to transmit the good vibrations that come with the beginning of summer by setting the music video for Applejack, by the Australian group The Triangles, in the traditional midsummer festivals celebrated on the eve of San Juan’s Day in Cadaqués and Menorca. <br /> |
|||
'''Art''' |
|||
With regards to art, Estrella Damm promotes new Mediterranean trends through collaborations with galleries, art centres, fashion events, and above all, by using the work of both national and international artists in its advertising campaigns, calendars and limited edition bottles. |
|||
Among the artists that have collaborated with Estrella Damm are the multidisciplinary Chicks on Speed, the fashion designer Custo Dalmau, the illustrators Alex Trochut, Drasik and Silja Göetz, and the DJ and photographer Gee.<br /> |
|||
== Estrella Damm Sailing Team == |
|||
This is the brand’s sailing team that will compete in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona_World_Race Barcelona World Race]]. The sponsorship of this sport reflects the brand’s wish to open itself up to other countries with a sport that is closely linked to values such as respect for nature, personal effort and teamwork. <br /> |
|||
'''The Team'''<br /> |
|||
The Estrella Damm Sailing Team has two members: Alex Pella and Pepe Ribes. |
|||
Alex Pella, who comes from a seafaring family, discovered his passion for solo sailing in the late ’90s, when he was preparing two Spanish boats for the Solitaire du Figaro. Since then, he has devoted himself to competing in professional regattas and has participated, both solo and as part of a team, in a number of regattas across the globe. |
|||
Pepe Ribes became a professional sailor when he was just 21 years old. His first transatlantic ocean regatta was the Ruta del Descubrimiento from Cádiz to Miami. The sport has taken him all over the world, from Australia to France, the United Kingdom and other points across Europe. In addition to his experience as a professional sailor, he has also worked as a boat builder.<br /> |
|||
'''The Sailing Boat''' <br /> |
|||
It stands out because of its colourful design, which represents biodiversity and nature through animal and plant motifs on a red background. These illustrations represent the brand’s solid environmental commitment and its wish to convey the avant-garde, cosmopolitan style so characteristic of the Mediterranean. <br /> |
