Established in 1283
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.

Draught Clear-golden yellow beer with small snow-white head. Dry grains nose, bit "herb", bit grassy. Very dry, straw-like grainy flavour, some grassiness. It does not fall flat, but instead the taste goes completely dry, as dry bread. Hops, all the same, finish the picture. Despite the initial creamy onset in texture, it’s bone-dry. Very lingering MF, taste turning into something as nettle cheese. Hoppy, but especially ultra-dry Pilsener.

Ansprechend dunkelhopfiger Antrunk der mit der Zeit noch etwas stärker wird. Wenig malzig, die Hopfigkeit ist eindeutig weiter der stärkste Ton. Würzig-getreidig im Mittelteil und im Abgang, der Hopfen ebbt nur sehr langsam ab. Im Abgang kurzzeitig noch etwas würziger. Gelungenes und frischer Pils. Danke an quack-duck. Test vom 5.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,12,11,12,9,12 - 11,50

Bottle (thanx to Quack-Duck!): Greenish-golden, lazy carbonation, small lacy white foamy layer; strawy, grainy and slightly sourish nose; light bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied as well; light to moderate sweet-bitter finish. "Edel" = "noble", an euphemism for a poor beer......

(33cl bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Clear, pale golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head. Medium-sweet, slightly perfumed malty nose with light herbal hoppy notes. Light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Slightly perfumed strawy malty taste with light herbal notes; dryish, slightly bitter and hoppy finish. Not really convincing (26.06.08).
