Kronenbourg

Kronenbourg is a brand of beer produced by the French brewing company Brasseries Kronenbourg, which is owned by Carlsberg. The brewery was founded in 1664 in Strasbourg, France, by Geronimus Hatt. The company's flagship beer, Kronenbourg 1664, is a pale lager that is popular both in France and internationally. It is known for its smooth taste and slightly fruity aroma.

The Kronenbourg brewery has a long history and has undergone several changes in ownership and branding throughout the centuries. The name "Kronenbourg" itself, meaning "crown town," refers to the brewery's historical association with the city of Strasbourg. The beer brand has become synonymous with French brewing heritage and is often associated with quality and tradition.

Kronenbourg 1664 is brewed using a blend of malts and hops, including Strisselspalt hops, which are known for their distinctive aromatic qualities. The beer is fermented at a specific temperature to achieve its characteristic crisp and refreshing profile. Beyond the flagship lager, the brand also offers variations such as Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc, a wheat beer with citrus notes, and Kronenbourg 1664 Rosé, a fruit-infused lager. Kronenbourg beers are widely distributed and can be found in many countries around the world, making it one of the most recognized French beer brands globally.
