Founded in 1876, the company operates the biggest brewery in Switzerland by production, the Feldschlösschen Brewery. It bought out Cardinal in 1991, and became a division of Carlsberg in 2000. In addition to beer, it also produces non-alcoholic beverages and mineral waters.[1]
History
Feldschlösschen was founded in 1876 by the brewer Theophil Roniger, the son of an innkeeper, and Mathias Wüthrich, the son of wealthy farmer.[2] The brewery was built on Bözberg railway line.[2] Its castle-style building, which is still maintained today, gave the brewery the name Feldschlösschen (lit. 'small castle of the field').[2]
