Description
Fürstenberg has been setting the standard for brewing and beer culture since 1283. And the tradition lives on: With a wide range of different beer specialties, the brewery leaves nothing to be desired: from our hoppy Premium Pilsener to our full-bodied Premium Lager and the fully matured Fürstenberg Non-Alcoholic or our sparkling-fresh wheat beers, Fürstenberg embodies a unique diversity in beer culture.
On January 18, 1283, King Rudolf I von Habsburg granted the lands and rights for Baar and Tunôeschingen - now known as Donaueschingen - in fief to Count Heinrich I von Fürstenberg. This included the right to brew beer and to issue concessions for brewing and serving food and drink and to regulate, tax and levy duties on brewing and the serving of food and drink.
After Count Joseph Wilhelm Ernst zu Fürstenberg moved his seat of power to Donaueschingen, the demand for our beer started to grow. Construction of the new brewery began in 1739 and the brewery hasn’t moved since.
In 2005 the company joined Brau Holding International, one of the biggest brewery groups in Germany, in order to secure the future of the Fürstenberg brewery.

Bouteille 50cl, merci Tim. BB 02/2026, batch# L2148.
Malgré cette date de BB, cette bière reste encore très plaisante.
Couleur dorée, col blanc fin tenace.
Arôme est sur un bouquet floral, finement malté, herbes en infusion et ici encore, ce côté chamomille.
Palais est plaisant sur le malté finement toasté - tirant sur qcq céréales. Pointe florale avec des notes de chamomille - honeydew, infusion de thé, pointe fruitée. Effervescence reste bien dosée.

From the lidl, at Erdingen, drinking it there, in our rented flat. It was rainy after a big storm, at Europa Park. Right radler, tasty, well balanced, enjoyable touch of lemon, not too sweet, dry malt, fair bitterness, a bit like the calanda radler, 05.08 24

From the edeka, Erdingen, 3rd of August, after a full day of rulantica. Basic, not bad, but don't expect a grand cru. Dry malt, bready, a bit salty, watery, classical bitterness, could be a bit more subtle, ok, 05.08.24

A classical German beer on the winter way, simple but it was pleasant to start these fresh days. You get a side of dry malt, mineral with a touch of toffee and autumnal spices, classical hop, 11.10.20, at Epalinges, buying it at one Fristo shop at Freiburg am Breisgau.
