Legend has it that an owl (xibeca in Catalan) cast a spell on a young woman, turning her into a witch with amazing powers.

The strange, elongated shadow of the witch Xibeca became very famous and it is believed that years later it was the inspiration for the name of the litre bottles of Damm.

However, another popular story says that it could be the similarity in size between the bottles and an owl that eventually gave this original beer its name.
