Alhambra Especial 30Lx1

Spain

First introduced by Charles V in 1537 when he built a brewery next to the Manzanares river to supply his court with cold beer. It continued to grow in popularity with Phillip II ensuring it continued to be produced during his reign. At the end of the 19th century, increased beer consumption meant large breweries opening across the country, with Estrella Damm in 1876 and Alhambra in 1890.
