Mahou is the authentic Spanish beer originating from Madrid in 1890, but has now increased its presence in the UK.
The name now graces the menus of over 1,000 high-end restaurants and pubs nationwide and is the most-awarded Spanish beer globally*.
Mahou is meticulously brewed using the finest natural ingredients, which results in a well-balanced bitterness but refreshing flavour.
The five-star taste serves as the ideal complement to an array of Spanish delicacies, such as cheese, cured meats, olives and tapas dishes, but is also a great pairing for some of our Christmas favourites.
Mahou captivates not only the taste but also the hearts of Brits, as an ambassador of the hospitable, social and lively Madrid lifestyle.
When enjoying a Mahou, drinkers are not just tasting a beer, they are also sharing the real taste of Madrid.
Mahou was founded by Casimiro Mahou in 1890 and is the result of seven generations of family ownership and brewing passion. In 2023, Mahou revalidated its position as the most consumed beer brand in Spain**.
In the 60’s Mahou’s “cañas” were granted the popular title of the “best draft beer in Madrid” because of a pioneer tap system and a unique “Master pouring” (Maestria) that is still used today to deliver a distinctive creamy foam.
Enjoy a genuine taste of the essence of Madrid from the comfort of your own home this Christmas.
