Kronenbourg Brewery 1 of 2

• Sightseeing can be thirsty work, so for visitors
  to Strasbourg, a trip around the Kronenbourg
  brewery is an ideal thirst-quencher.
• Situated just outside the centre of Strasbourg,
  the Brasseries Kronenbourg is the home of the
  producer of 40 of the beer that France drinks.

Kronenbourg Brewery 2 of 2

• Kronenbourg, 1664, Kanterbräu and Brugs are all
  Kronenbourg brands, all with subtle nuances that
  make them unique and extremely popular.The tour
  introduces the visitor to the expertise involved
  in producing the beer in your glass. A trip
  through three centuries of production encompasses
  the old cellars, the art of brewing and the art
  of tasting, the latter of course being the main
  motive for many tourists visiting...
