There are so many models. Each community has its own. The first thing is to tackle the pandemic.    I am absolutely convinced that the hotel industry is a solution and not a problem. Demonizing it is not good. Obviously there are cases that have not been good examples and there must be some distances and protocols, which a very high percentage of the hotel and catering industry complies with. With these protocols, people are encouraged not to get infected because they socialize in an environment with distances and hygiene. If you don’t do it there, you will go home. And at the end of the day, socializing at home does not have those safety measures.

Yes, the truth is that we are investing a lot and we still have a very comfortable level of indebtedness. But if the family agrees to do it, we could look at the feasibility without losing control. Why not? But we haven’t talked about that, because we have resources. And I wouldn’t be too excited about ringing the bell even if we did (laughs).

estrella galicia and paradigma: integrating positive impact

Before the arrival of the coronavirus, this family business produced 300 million liters of beer per year, with a turnover well above 500 million euros. The closure of thousands of bars and restaurants as a result of the restrictions has slowed down a business that is still alive in supermarkets but not strong enough to compensate for the drop in sales.

Rivera is annoyed with the authorities, whom he accuses of criminalizing the hotel and catering industry. In his opinion, closing bars is a mistake that will push people to gather in homes and relax protective measures. “We are the solution, not the problem,” assures this brewer, who calls for a rescue plan for the sector.

A sadness. Our backbone is the hotel and catering business and it’s been hit. We’re in a bad way. It is very difficult to plan. If the on-trade closes, our business changes. We don’t sell kegs, or returnable bottles. The scenario changes every day and we have to improvise all the time.

talks #círculounltd: ignacio rivera

The commitment to R&D development led to the production of the first extra beers in 1982, with a more careful presentation and high levels of quality that would force the introduction of fermentation and storage silos of the truncated cone type.

The 1990s were characterized by the beginning of expansion in the domestic and international markets, the launching of new beers (1906, River and HR) with more attractive formats such as the longneck bottle or the silk-screen printed label, and the first diversification in the mineral water sector, participating in Aguas de Cabreiroá (1994).
