Kronenbourg 1664 premium pilsner

Kronenbourg 1664 is a world-renowned premium French beer, historically originating from Strasbourg in the Alsace region. The brand traces its roots back to 1664 when Geronimus Hatt founded the brewery. Known for its use of the aromatic Strisselspalt hop, often referred to as the 'caviar of hops', it has become the best-selling French beer in the world.

Today, the brand is owned by the Danish brewing powerhouse Carlsberg Group, which acquired it through a joint takeover of Scottish & Newcastle. While it remains quintessentially French in identity, Kronenbourg 1664 is produced in multiple countries to supply global demand. In its home market, it is brewed at the Obernai brewery, which is the largest brewery in France. In other regions, including the UK and parts of Asia, production may be handled by local Carlsberg subsidiaries or licensed facilities.
