Producer Background
Founded in Strasbourg in the year 1664, Kronenbourg is one of the oldest and most respected beer brands in France. Its name pays homage to the district in which the original brewery was located, and the year commemorates the start of their brewing legacy. Kronenbourg 1664 is best known for its iconic flagship beer – a pale lager brewed with Strisselspalt hops, often referred to as the “caviar of hops” for their aromatic subtlety.
Now produced under the Carlsberg Group, Kronenbourg 1664 maintains its original French flair while benefiting from modern brewing technologies and international distribution. The beer itself is bright and golden, with a balanced flavour that features light malt sweetness, floral hops, and a crisp, refreshing finish. Its refined taste and elegant branding have earned it loyal fans across Europe and Ireland, especially among those looking for premium lager with a clean profile and smooth texture.
Though firmly rooted in French tradition, Kronenbourg fits perfectly into our curated craft beer selection, sitting alongside other classics from Germany and Belgium, as well as Irish-made favourites. It offers a familiar but elevated experience that complements any occasion, whether you’re picking up a six-pack or exploring broader flavour profiles.
