100,000 visitors for 150 years of brewing history
The old Damm factory is consolidating itself as a cultural and civic meeting point
In the year that Barcelona's Damm brewery celebrates its 150th anniversary, it has announced that over 100,000 people visited the old factory (c. Rosselló, 515) during 2025 to attend some of the 228 cultural, gastronomic, or sporting events held there. Among the highlights were the Gaudí Awards ceremony, the human tower (castellers) celebration at the Sagrada Família, and the Christmas Sant Jordi festival, which brought together writers and authors of new publications, demonstrating that books are the stars of the show throughout the year. Furthermore, the old Damm factory is also open for guided tours, where visitors can learn how beer was made a century ago. You can also see objects related to the history of the company, founded in 1876.
These visits end with beer tastings, accompanied by five dishes prepared by chef Miquel Antoja, showcasing the range of different beers brewed at the brewery, such as Inédito, or the one they created together with chef Ferran Adrià. The Roca brothers, from the Can Roca winery, named Duet.
