Calanda

Calanda is a Swiss lager brand based in Chur, in the Canton of Graubünden, with a brewing history that dates to 1780. The brewery spent much of its early existence operating under the name Rhätische Aktienbräuerei before the Calanda identity became established. The brand produces light lager-style beers brewed with spring water from the Grison mountains.

By the 1990s, Calanda had grown to become the third largest brewery in Switzerland. Heineken N.V. acquired the business in 1993, and production is now carried out by Heineken Switzerland AG. The brand holds a 2.7% national market share in Switzerland, with its beers distributed across the country.

Calanda's alcohol-free range extends its portfolio to sober-curious drinkers looking for a familiar Swiss lager style without the alcohol. One of its drinks has picked up awards.
