Inside MEGA
Route
01 In the beginning
Take a journey through time, from the Prehistoric Age to the present day, and learn all about the technical innovations that enable us to enjoy beer as we know it today.
An opportunity to sense at first hand Estrella Galicia’s pride in its Galician origins: discover how we enjoy our gastronomy; how we support rural communities by working with local producers; how we rock with our teams and our passion for our culture, its traditions and festivals.
02 Ingredients
The experience begins with an introduction to the cornerstone of everything we do: the Rivera family. An opportunity to browse through a family album that provides an insight into each period of the family history, revealing the crucial role their progress has played in making us what we are today and how the company’s founder, Jose María Rivera Corral, has successfully passed on his drive, motivation and know-how to later generations.
This is followed by a tour of the more conventional raw materials: water, hops, cereals and yeast, the four basic ingredients of beer. You will be able to smell, touch and discover at first hand the importance of each of these elements in our recipes.
03 Brewing
Discover how beer is brewed in the traditional heart of our facilities: the Brewhouse, where the master brewers have contributed their personal skill and expertise to produce beers with a unique character. Learn about the four stages of brewing: boiling, fermentation, maturation and conditioning.
04 Bottling & Canning
Bottling and canning is a key part of the process, guaranteeing that the beer reaches consumers in optimum conditions.
MEGA boasts a prime location inside the Estrella Galicia brewery in A Coruña. It is therefore a ‘living’ museum, where you will be able to observe our fellow workers in action, bottling and canning our beers.
