About
The Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg was established in 1871 by Sigmund von Willibald. The Von Willibalds owned the castle and brewery till 1917 when the premises were acquired by the Schülein family. The Schülein heirs sold the castle and brewery in 1954 to the Wittelsbach family. The König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg continues the 800-year tradition of brewing of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Prince Luitpold of Bavaria started in the 1970s to turn the small brewery in Kaltenberg Castle into a modern company.

The castle still houses part of the brewing installation of the König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei. 100,000 hectoliters of beer are brewed here every year. But most activities of the company are located in the large modern brewery in Fürstenfeldbruck. Since 2001 the König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg has been a 50/50 joint venture with Warsteiner.

Hazy, pale golden color and a nice white head. Malty, grassy, a little tart and quite ok for an alc free beer.

Bottle picked up from REWE Zolling and consumed at home Attenkirchen, Monday 9th December 2019 whilst cooking Mousakka and also a Mushroom and Chestnut Soup, listening to Steve Lamaqs Evening Session on 6Music. Pours light gold, super clear, a large white head sits atop. Nose is subtle but clean, fruity, a little bit zippy, touch dry finish and not so sweet. It's ok.

Bottled 500ml. -Muddy brownish coloured, minimal off-white head, heavy oxidation and caramel in the nose. The taste is basicly the same with notes of dried fruits and light tobacco. Sweet finish. 20€ for nothing.

Bottle. Huge thanks Zdenko! Murky dark red amber, scant off white head. Heavy oxidised malty sweet aroma, maple. Lean taste, oxidised malt, well hidden alcohol and not too sweet, interesting malty profile. Diluted prošek. If you like malt and oxidation profiles, or oxidised raisin wine, great, if not, no. Way, way WAY overpriced...
