A very special broth for the pilgrim - La Estrella del Camino.

The Estrella del Camino beer, a special Witbier, combines representative ingredients from various Jacobean routes. With citrus notes from Valencia, barley from Castilla, Portuguese coriander, and Galician wheat, it is ideal for pairing with cheeses, seafood, and slow-cooked meats. Perfect for celebrating after a day of pilgrimage.

If there is something important on the Camino de Santiago, it is undoubtedly those moments of friendship shared after completing each stage. The encounter with other pilgrims is what makes this experience unforgettable. And what better way to rest and share anecdotes and smiles than by having a beer? Estrella Galicia knows this, which is why it has created a special edition beer of the Camino de Santiago. So you can enjoy this journey from start to finish.

The Camino Star Beer: A Very Special Witbier

What sets it apart from other beers? Why from the Camino? Estrella Galicia goes beyond pure marketing, and that is why it has truly wanted to create a beer that brings together all the Caminos in one bottle. To achieve this, it has used ingredients gathered from some of the most popular Caminos that together serve to refresh the palates of the most seasoned pilgrims.

Thus, they have conceived a refreshing Witbier as tradition dictates, with citrus notes and a noticeable presence of wheat. With a pale and cloudy appearance, its refreshing aroma and flavor make this beer an ideal companion for summer, a necessary indulgence and more than deserved at the end of each stage.

The Levante Way

This delicious potion transports us to the Levante Way through the citrus scents and refreshing tones provided by the famous oranges from Valencia. Undoubtedly the star product of those productive fields that were once traversed by El Cid. Pure vitamin for the walker that will undoubtedly make this brew their particular manna.

The French Way

Goethe said that "Europe was made by pilgrimaging to Compostela." But beyond its evident European soul, the French Way, the preferred route for most pilgrims, is and has been throughout history the backbone of the north of the Peninsula. A great communication route that has united kingdoms for centuries, witnessing the passage of pilgrims, shepherds, merchants, and harvesters. From east to west, this French Way to Santiago crosses the wide fields of Castilla, where barley is grown, representing this legendary route in the new Estrella Galicia beer.

Portuguese Way

Portuguese gastronomy is known for cod, "natas," "francesinhas", or wines such as Port or "vinho verde." But if there is something that characterizes Portuguese cuisine, of which the good pilgrim must take note, it is the omnipresence of cilantro in almost all its recipes and preparations. And that is the ingredient chosen by the brewery from A Coruña, the "patriotic herb" of the neighboring country, to leave the Portuguese mark that represents the Portuguese Way in this international beer.

English Way

This route, which was once linked to an eminently Atlantic trade, fell into oblivion after the numerous frictions that have occurred throughout history between both kingdoms. But if there is something good that the resurrection of the Way has brought in recent decades, it is precisely the resurgence of ancient paths that led to Compostela. Still in the process of recovery in Ireland and Great Britain, the English Way is today, contrary to what it may seem, an eminently Galician Way. And that is its role in this beer, contributing that smell of bread, of home, through the wheat grown directly here. Let yourself be intoxicated by that smell of wood-fired oven and the warmth of freshly baked bread.

What can I drink it with?

The Way, the Star, and Tapas are a galactic trio like no other. And if we add the excellence of Galician products, there is nothing more to add.

This is a good beer for an appetizer. A good combination with soft or semi-soft cheeses, preferably cow's milk, such as the cheeses with Denomination of Origin Arzúa-Ulloa or Tetilla is magnificent to whet your appetite.

Once in battle, and as it could not be otherwise, an Atlantic beer must be accompanied by good seafood. That is why it is excellent for small cookings, marinades, or served raw. Some good steamed mussels or a fresh seafood salad will give you an explosive combination to start your feast.

And for the second course, this beer will allow you to enjoy all its flavor in combination with poultry or slow-cooked meats. Certainly, a good capon from Vilalba accompanied by this wonder will be a treat for the palate.

And that concludes our recommendations to enjoy this magnificent special edition of Estrella Galicia, the Star of the Way, because if we have the best beer in the world, it is said and shared, and that’s that.

And to enjoy a well-deserved beer, we recommend that you walk the From Tui to Santiago in 6 stages and celebrate grandly the journey through Portuguese lands.
