Sociedad Anónima Damm is a Spanish brewery founded in Barcelona in 1876 by the Alsacian August Kuentzmann Damm and Joseph Damm. It is the main brewery in the city.

Its best known beer products include the following four:

  • Estrella Damm, formerly "Estrella Dorada", a pale beer, one of the most popular beers in the Barcelona area. It has been brewed since 1876. Its bottles and caps used to display a characteristic golden star on white ground. Now the star on the cans is on a red background.
  • Voll-Damm imitates a German-style Märzen beer. It has more body and a higher alcohol content than Estrella. Its dark-green coloured labels display writing in the Gothic script.
  • Xibeca is a low-alcohol grade table-beer coming in large, low-priced one-liter bottles. "Xibeca" was meant to be consumed along with meals, as a cheap substitute for red table wine when the prices of table wines rose at the end of the 1960s. It was very popular among the low-middle class in Catalonia during the 1970s.
  • Estrella Levante is a pilsner lager produced in Espinardo, Murcia. It has been brewed since 1963.
