History edit
The company's origins date back to 1906 when José María Rivera Corral established La Estrella de Galicia brewery in the city of A Coruña.
In 2006, the company celebrated its centenary in the company of King Juan Carlos. A beer named 1906 Reserva Especial was launched to commemorate the occasion. In 2017, the company purchased a 32% stake in Carlow Brewing Company, an Irish-based brewery.[2]
In 2022, he transformed his online store into a marketplace, called BigCrafters,[3] to promote the sale of its own and third-party artisan products.[4]
