Hijos de Rivera is an independent, family-owned Galician company best known for our flagship beer brand, Estrella Galicia. In 1906, our founder planted the seed of a dream: to brew a unique and exceptional beer, deeply rooted in our land and that everyone would love. Since then, five generations of the Rivera family have nutured that seed, of our legacy. Today, over a century later, Corporación Hijos de Rivera is an international group specializing in the production, marketing, and distribution of beverages with a clear differentiator: staying true to our roots and artisanal character. We take pride in growing while respecting our traditional processes, crafting our recipes, and creating innovative and unique products. And, above all, we are proud to do so while maintaining our capital 100% local and independent, our headquarters in Galicia, and our commitment to Galician culture and community pride – all hallmarks of our identity. We know we won't change the world alone, but we are naturally nonconformist and do everything in our reach to improve it. Therefore, we work with a steadfast purpose: to become the most beloved Big Craft, fighting against standardization and making a positive impact.
