A New Beer for the Holy Year!

Elle Bieling · Jul 6, 2021

How great, that Estrella Galicia, one of my favorite beers along the Camino, is now brewing "Estrella del Camino," made from natural ingredients from different Camino routes, in a celebratory tribute to Xacobeo, 2021-2022. Read the article here. I may have to go on a Camino, just to try this beer. Their description of the Compostela Holy Year beer sounds absolutely delicious! "The beginning in the mouth is sweet and with soft toasted notes, giving way to an acidity that provides a pleasant refreshing sensation, provided by wheat, orange peel, hops and coriander seeds. (Per Google Translator.)" Yum! Could this be "holy beer??" Salud!

I think it was Benjamin Franklin who said "Beer is proof, that God loves us!". Ill drink to that! Buen Camino!

Estrella de Galicia started in 1906 in A Coruña. Its founder José Maria Rivera was born in a little hamlet in 1856 . When he was 14 emigrated to America like many Galicians, his parents had to mortgage some properties to pay him the boat ticket. He was in La Habana (Cuba) and Veracruz (Mexico), where he made enough money to return to Galicia and start several businesses, one of them Estrella de Galicia.

My son, who took this picture in 2015, has just asked me, "Dad, do people ask you if you're from Estrella?"

@pepi I hope there is some remaining for you to try by August! According to the article the beer will be brewed in a limited supply and will be sold until that supply is exhausted! With bars just opening and everyone coming out of lockdown, that supply could be gone pretty fast!

Thank you @Pelegrin! What a great story behind a great beer.

This story is familiar to me because my grandfather also emigrated to Cuba.

Hope the Cowboy Bar and Bar Elvis both stock this! Bob

Now I want to run, not even drive, but run to the airport!
Luckily my pack is always packed!

I'm not a beer drinker at all, but Elle's description of this special "Holy beer" has my mouth watering!

My favourite is this one from an abbey in Belgium but Estrella when on the Way of St James, unless they export the new brew will have to wait until my next Camino for a taste.

When you stop at a bar for a beer, wine, coffee or bite to eat, and sit at a table, is it expected that you will return your dirty dishes up to the bar before you leave? I alway do, as it seems...
