About
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.

Bottle, shared after a long day of adventure. Clear deep golden. Late summer, hay, grainy, sweetness. Front heavy sweetness, but then it gets saved by bubblegum, oily malt, metallic. Not completely undrinkable.

Color amarillo dorado y cristalino, espuma blanca y fina. Emana un aroma a malta, granero y heno fresco. Ligera y refrescante en boca, maltosa, notas de pan y cereal, trago largo, muy bebible, una gozada. Bastante buena, lo cierto es que la he disfrutado muchísimo.
