Mahou Cinco Estrellas

Mahou Cinco Estrellas is an iconic Spanish pale lager brewed by Mahou-San Miguel, the largest brewing company in Spain. Its heritage dates back to 1890 when the first brewery was established in Madrid, quickly becoming a staple of Spanish culture and lifestyle. The brand is particularly famous for its deep roots in the Spanish capital, where it remains the most popular beer.

While the primary production occurs in large breweries throughout Spain – notably in Alovera and Lleida – the brand is also manufactured internationally through various licensing agreements and global distribution partnerships. As the flagship product of the Mahou-San Miguel group, Cinco Estrellas is widely exported to dozens of countries, representing a significant portion of Spain's beer exports.

Today, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Mahou-San Miguel group, a family-owned Spanish company. The enterprise expanded significantly in 2000 following the acquisition of San Miguel (formerly the Spanish division of the Philippine brand), solidifying its position as a major player in the international beverage market while maintaining its status as a private, independent Spanish entity.
