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.

Kaltenberg Lager (Croatian version) 0,5 l can. Pours pale yellow body with relatively large white head. Nice aroma with citrus and grass hops, somewhat malty too. Flavor, as aroma, also reminds to the Pils, maybe even just a hint better. Palate is also fine, notably better and longer than Pils. Carbonation just great. A good beer.

Brewed by the license at Jadranska Pivovara, Croatia. Bottle 0,5 l. Yellow body, moderate head, diminishing quite fastly (nice sound). Strong aroma, good taste. did not like this one before exactly because of quite bitter and a bit soapy taste. Somehow watery finish, short.

Pours a dark ruby colour with only a small amount of head. Dried fruit on the nose aswell as a hint of dark chocolate. Malty flavour with a quick rush of cocoa and some coffee hints. Not the strongest flavoured dark lager I’ve ever tried, but there’s certeinately nothing wrong with the taste. Rather nice.
