Kronenbourg brewery is a brewery founded in 1664 by Geronimus Hatt in the free imperial city of Strasbourg. The name comes from the area where the brewery relocated in 1850. The company is owned by the Carlsberg group. Founded in 1664, it is one of the oldest breweries still in existence. Master brewers began using the Strisselspalt hop, exclusive to Alsace, in 1885. Since 1959, its success has expanded to foreign markets and today, it is sold in more than 60 countries. Kronenbourg 1664, France’s number one selling beer, is malty and fruity with a fresh flowery flavor complemented by aromatic hops, slightly bittersweet with a distinct citrus hop taste, made with Strisselspalt hops, “the caviar of hops”.
