Spain's second-largest beer maker Damm halted output at its main brewery outside Barcelona after a cyber attack hit its computer systems earlier this week, a spokesperson said on Friday.

The attack hit the brewery on Tuesday night and for a few hours the plant in El Prat de Llobregat, which produces 7 million hectolitres of beer a year, was "entirely paralyzed", Olga Vidal, Damm's head of communications, told Reuters on Friday.
"IT services made possible a partial resumption of production and we expect to operate at 100% in the coming hours," she said.
She declined to say whether a ransom was demanded of the company or if the maker of Estrella Damm lager had paid anything to the hackers behind the attack.
Damm bottles several other beer brands besides its iconic Estrella Damm and has honored all deliveries to bars, restaurants, and supermarkets thanks to existing stocks, Vidal said.
