The Brewer's Tale
HeritageThe Brewery
The story starts in 1664, when Jérôme Hatt began brewing in Strasbourg; the brewery later moved to the city's Cronenbourg district, giving the beer its name.
Now part of Carlsberg, Kronenbourg 1664 is brewed in Obernai, Alsace.
The Pour
A golden French lager: light bready malt with a signature citrus-floral hop lift from Alsatian Strisselspalt hops, and a clean, smooth finish.
The Year in the Name
‘1664’ is no marketing flourish — it's the year the Hatt family began brewing in Strasbourg, one of France's oldest brewing lineages.
At The Table
Alsatian and French fare: tarte flambée, choucroute, a croque-monsieur or a plate of cheese.
