| Uninspired middle-sized brewery offering below average, boring lagers. You have to be from the french-speaking side of the country and particularly proud of it to like this brewery. Owned partially by Löwengarten (probably now Schützengarten since the take-over from 2006). Production: 27'000 hl

| Brewer: Alexandre Courtet et Michel Reuter. Well, well... What should I say without being unpleasant... They gave a little bit more body to their beers recently replacing some of the incredible sweetness with a bad, rough and aggressive bitterness. This is very surely brewed with extracts and in any cases just at the level of bad homebrew. You don't believe me ? Just ask Kuaska :-) Production: 24 hl |

Cardinal | Passage du Cardinal 1701 Fribourg 026 429 22 16

| Belongs to the Feldschloesschen-Huerlimann-Holding Group which has been bought by Carlsberg (november 2000). Cardinal was scheduled to be closed in 1997 but Feldschloesschen had to face with serious resistance from the beer-lovers of the french-speaking part of the country. The sales dropped down and Feldschloesschen had to come back on its decision. The brewery is still opened and they are also brewing the old Gurten brands. Anyway their beers are not exactly what I would call good and they are making most of their money recently with sweetened fruit beers (the Eve serie) or even lemonade (Angel). So don't count on me to cry the day it will be closed.

| "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."

In april 2008 Heineken bought Eichhof, formerly 3rd brewery of the country. Some interesting beers. And a lot of bad stuff ... Production: 600'000 hl

| Their beers (Goldküstenbräu and Oberländerbräu) are contract brewed at Aare-Bier. Their own brewery should opened in spring 2011. They also have a joint venture with Usterbräu. But let's make it clear: the Goldküstenbräu and the Oberländerbräu Hell are the same beers as Aare-Bier Kellerfrisch. And so is Oberländerbräu Amber the same as Aare-Bier Amber. And I don't want to talk about the Uster Export... So why trying to fool the consumer in talking about a beer from the region? And how can the intention to open their own brewery really be taken seriously if you consider the risk of changing a recipe ? I'm ready to bet we're not gonna see a Braukultur brewery for a long time. |

| 8th edition: 2010 April 22 to 24 | homepage | This festival, first organised in 2003, brings together more than 20 small to middle swiss breweries. A good opportunity to meet up with the brewers although the conditions for beer tasting and talking are far to be optimum (lot of people (99% of them, don't have the slightest idea about beer), smoke and noise). Anyway this is a pretty interesting festival which every swiss beer lover must attend. |

Belle de Genève | rue de Montbrillant 38 1211 Genève | 2003 - 2007 | homepage | 2 | 8.6 | Not a brewery but a contract brewer. The beers are brewed elsewhere in the country (Turbinenbräu) and were at sometimes even brewed in France. This fact was originally maintained secret, probably because of the importance of the marketing aspect to brew local beer. The status of la Belle de Genève was quite unknown in 2004. They had to face some financial problems and closed the Brasserie Artisanale de Genève (which probably never really existed ...). They came back in march 2005 with the ambition to build a brewery in Genève. It looks again a bit different since 2007 as the phone number and email published on the contact list are no more valid and it seems you have to make your orders via the webmaster ... Very strange. |
