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.

A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma contains notes of hops, yeast, and brewing mash. The flavor dry hoppy with notes of brewing mash as well as hints of alcohol. A boring beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Swedish version brewed by Krönleins Brewery. Yellowish golden, slightly hazy with a small, white head. Nice flowery nose and aroma from the very dry aroma-hops. Light malt-sweetness. A very refined and pleasant lager. 180505

Bottled(500ml). -Croatian version named Kaltenberg Lager, nice malty and hoppy aroma with pleasant bready notes, quite refreshing and easy drinkable beer, but the question is how long will this beer survive in croatia because there are no representative except for dalmacija

First, about the brewery. Jadranska Pivovara exists for 35 years now, it used to make its own beers, and Lederer (a german beer), but hasn’t been doing it for a while. It has been making the Croatian version of the Kaltenberg Pils for ten years now, and has been doing it admirably good, but to the dismay of every enlightened beer drinker around these parts (the ten of us, hehe), it has never made/imported the other Kaltenberg beers.There were advertisments in the local newspapers during the last month hinting that there will be a new Kaltenber beer. I was thinking that it’ll be either their Helles, or Light, but hoped for something from the Prinzregent Luitpold lineup. And on the 14.03. they launched a new beer. A lager. Woo-friggin-hoo. As if we need more. So, I wasn’t that excited about trying this (interestingly enough, not advertised on the Jadranska pivovara or the Kaltenberg website). But, I decided to try it anyway. Hey, it’s a new beer in the database. From the beginning, quite fizzy, fluffy and rapidly disappearing head, and pale golden colour. Not promising. The aroma, malty, with a strange acidic hint. The taste ? Luckily, the commercial description is partially false, there is bitteness. The taste is nice, managing to be flowery (almost Ožujsko like), and bready, with a fine hop bitterness in the aftertaste. It’s a bit overcarbonated though, and it can be felt. All in all, it’s a damn fine tasting lager, and probably better than the Pils. But was it really, really necessary to put another lager on the market that’s already cluttered with them ?
