Description
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.

Soft, sweet aroma with hints of yeast. Refreshing taste with a sweet edge and a crisp finish. Very easy to drink.

Bottle. Raw oatmeal aroma. Hazy yellow colour. Nice big stable white head. The flavour starts off dry, then there is a good yeastiness. The finish is quite flavourful, nicely bready and weakly isotonic.

Bottle (Dank nach Garching!): Golden to deep golden coloured, bigger - slowly diminishing- - white head; grainy nose with a light acidic touch; flat sweetish-bitter flavour; more light than medium bodied; a tinge of metal in the moderate sweet-bitter flavour. Modest, not exciting Märzen..........

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wheat, but also some cardboard. The flavor is thin with notes of wheat and cardboard, leading to a dry wheaty finish.
