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.

Dumpfer, leicht süßer Beginn von Grapefruit. Wässrig limonadig, konstante milde Aromatik. Nie bierig, nicht wirklich süß, halbwegs erfrischend. Meh. 9/5/7/5/8/5

Bottle. Clear dark amber with a decent white head. Aroma of metal, caramel and earthy hops. Taste is a weak mix of malts, caramel, toffee and earthy hops with a somewhat spicy finish. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Watery. It didn’t interfere with my mother-in-law‘s roast so that must count for something.
