  The Estrella Damm brewery tour is an experience like no other. It begins auspiciously, as the group of brewery pilgrims start to mingle on the street outside waiting for the elaborate gates to open - a modern day Wonka Factory. But it’s done in such a low-key and underground way that it’s impossible to tell whether they’re even open or have actually turned up at work today and bothered to prepare a tour at all. A theme which very much continues from here on out. While the boiler room looks very much the part, with gleaming copper and pressure gauges abundant, the tour does take a rather sudden and unexpected turn almost immediately. After being shown the toilets and then informed in no uncertain terms that you will have to wait until later as you’re only allowed to use a different set - you’re then led out the fire escape, around past the bins, to finally arrive at your destination - the staff car park. The phrase “catfished by a brewery” was not one which you were expecting to think about today - but, nevertheless, it certainly now cannot be ignored. You move on to an outbuilding where you learn that the brewery does have a veritable treasure trove of vintage branding and art, historical bottles and taps, and retro furniture and office equipment. Unfortunately, it’s currently being stored in a warehouse behind thick plastic sheeting - which, while largely translucent, does make the viewer work for it. We understand this is a temporary measure until a new display place is built in 2026 - which was reassuring to learn on our visit in early 2025. And thankful that this should give the tour historians time to discover the identity of the man who dominates the photo in the central wall sized main display - who is a complete mystery man, apparently unrelated to the Damm brewing family - despite clearly being a Don and definitely in charge. That’s been a real cliffhanger for our group so looking forward to seeing that resolved for future visitors. But this is where the tour experience really does come alive; and, after an obligatory second visit to the car park, you’re led up to a terrace with a well prepared space for the beer tasting. A very high quality beer tasting with individually designed glasses and tasting notes for the phenomenal selection of high strength beers. And, in scenes rarely observed at brewery tours across Europe - an incredibly generous volume (5 bottles between 2 people). In conclusion, it really is a unique and quite unforgettable experience, with a strong finish that successfully does a fair bit of the heavy lifting. For those coming post 2026, I’m sure you’ll be in for a real treat. And to be absolutely fair to the wonderful employees at Damm - given the access they have to such volume of high strength beers, and with such generosity of spirit, it’s really no wonder they’ve not yet managed to identify one of the most important people in their historical archive. My personal guess? He’s the guy who built the car park.

• No time for the tasting.

  Overall the visit to the factory was fine, a bit long because of that, as then there was little time left for the tasting. The timing of the tasting was abysmal. They give you a taste of 5 beers (1 every 2 people) and take them all out at once, so you drink them hot. On the other hand, they don’t give you anything to sting and they hurry you, since at 21 they closed. It didn't give us time to enjoy the beer, and that was only half a glass of each... We had to leave them there, as they kicked us out because it was time (we were not even 20 minutes). I wouldn't recommend it.

  This was plenty of fun and very informative. We had a lovely tour of the brewery with lots of history. We then got to try 5 beers, most of which we had never seen before. It was one bottle of beer between 2 people, so 2.5 beers each in total ☺️

• Totally recommended. I will repeat for sure

  Totally recommended for beer lovers, and especially for those of Damm. The visit becomes a review of the history of Barcelona through the Damm archive, a shame that they still do not have a museum. The selection of beers for the tasting is almost unbeatable (Voll-Damm was missing). The guide did not skimp on details and attention - UNBEATABLE. He knows perfectly both the objects that make up the archive and the tasting products. Thanks for this experience
