    5 Stars Things Not To Say When Drinking Kronenbourg: 17/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Strong, flavoursome, refreshing, enjoyable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Headaches from hell if you drink too much

    In 1664 a young Frenchman looking for something to do to keep himself out of mischief decided to have a go at brewing beer. Jérôme Hatt was awarded the status of Brewer-Cooper, which meant he could brew and sell his own beer, and quickly set up a brewery in Strasbourg. Over the last 342 years the brewery has gone from strength to strength, today holding a reputation as brewer of one of Europe's leading Premium Lagers, amongst other brands, and appearing on many a pub and bar's lo- or hi-liners. Like other premium lagers, including Stella Artois, Grolsch and Carlsberg Export, Kronenbourg is a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cool and refreshing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit artificial

    Kronenbourg is a decent enough beer (for its type), but until recently, I'd never really been tempted to try their wheat beer version - Kronenbourg Blanc. All that changed during last week's heatwave when confronted with a selection of what would usually be a mouth-watering choice of ales in the pub. It was just too bloomin' hot! My eye was drawn continually to the shiny chrome, ice-cold, condensation-saturated font of the aforementioned beer. So I ordered a tall one. Kronenbourg started back in 1664 when Jerome Hatt produced his first barrel of beer in Strasbourg. In the 1800's the brewery ... more

    4 Stars Kronenbourg - A Klass act 04/10/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Kronenbourg is a Lager for special occasions, a crisp clear and devine drink to quench anyone thurst.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be extreamly heavy and thus not great when on a session, Can be a bit pricey in pubs - as much as £3.50.

    Kronenbourg 1664 Lager = Well, I feel it my duty after bringing some fairly hard reading topics in the past, to bring to you something light, and frothy. Something a little bit different, something a little bit chilled out. I give you…. Kronenbourg 1664 Lager. Being as I work in a pub, much of my inspiration for writing comes from work, so as you have probably guessed, it is very hard for me to stay off the topic of beer for to long, my problem comes when I get to involved with other topics – i.e. Matchbox Twenty, but there I go ranting away to myself…. AGAIN! Back to the point, as one of our ... more

    4 Stars The French Connection 25/03/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very crisp, High quality, Very drinkable over long periods

    Disadvantages Disadvantages As with all alcohol must be drunk in moderation

    My inspiration for this opinion came absolutely by chance. One member, whilst writing a comment on one of my previous opinions, accidentally spilt his Kronenbourg all over his keyboard. So thus was the impetus for this opinion. Many may be forgiven for thinking that Kronenbourg was a German beer due to its name. I was one of those until I delved a little deeper into the history of this magnificent beer. Kronenbourg is infact a pure French product. Who could have possibly thought that France could produce a beer with the character that it has. The numbers 1664 intrigued me and I after doing a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Strong lager, without the sicky after taste

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Maybe over priced

    Unsurprisingly, Kronenbourg 1664 was first brewed in 1664 by the Hatt family. They developed what has now become one of the favoured little tipples of Europe. Kronenbourg 1664 was specially launched in the UK to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. So, enough with the history, what does it mean to me! Kronenbourg 1664, in my mind, is only rivalled by Stella Artois for its strength and flavour. Having said that, I prefer 1664 without a doubt. Stella often comes across too strong, and you cannot drink it warm. (It really tastes like sick) Many of the current pubs across the UK are ... more
