Brewer: Freddy Haldemann | Very creative and interesting beers from this very small brewery. Freddy came back on track with great creative beers full of character after having followed shortly the devilish way of compromise between 2006 and 2009. Brewed a special beer for The Stillman's which is then aged in whisky barrels and bottled by them. Inferno-Bräu |  Founded in 2014 3210 Kerzers

Client brewer. Whisky importer and independent whisky bottler which offer beers aged in whisky barrels. The basis beer was first brewed by Haldemann then by Fleisch und Brau (for me with a sensible lost of quality), ageing and bottling are done by the Stillman's.

Cardinal | Passage du Cardinal 1701 Fribourg | 1788 - 2011 20 |

| 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. 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. And the decision came on August 31st 2010: the plant will be closed on June 2011. The reason is the outsourcing by Carlsberg of 20% of the production from the Feldschlösschen Group. The plant in Fribourg being used at 40%, it seems logical that Feldschlösschen has chosen to regroup the production in Rheinfelden. Closed in June 2011. Production: 450'000 hl |

| "Another brewpub offering beers of very bad homebrew quality; not the first and unfortunately not the last in the french speaking part of the country. Deeply damaging the reputation of craft beers. Added to that, the brewpub is a tragically bad place to be: drunk people pushing and provoking; dirty floors and tables ... A place to avoid!" |
