Kronenbrauerei Schimpf

The brewery draws its brewing water from its own deep well on site. The Schimpf family's identity is rooted in the Glatt valley, and the brewery describes its focus as beer culture from that valley, emphasising local character over broad mass-market appeal. Alongside the full-strength range, Kronenbrauerei Schimpf produces AF versions of its core German styles, including alcohol-free wheat beers and pilsners, for sober-curious drinkers who want recognisable German beer formats without the alcohol.

The brewery operates a traditional brewery tavern directly beside the production facility in Glatt, serving as both a tasting venue and a community focal point for the surrounding area. Distribution is concentrated in regional channels, consistent with a family-run Black Forest brewery of this scale.
