| "The biggest brewery of the country. Owner of Cardinal, Hürlimann, Valaisanne, Löwenbräu, Warteck and Gurten, brewing 40% of the whole swiss production and controlling about 70% of the drink market. Nevertheless after losing each year parts of the beer market they decided to sell the brewery to Carlsberg (11-2000). Since then, they are trying to brew more ""specialities"" (Frühlingsbier, Weihnachtsbier, 2.4 Max) but without success on the quality side."
