Kronenbrauerei Söflingen

Kronenbrauerei Söflingen is a German brewery based in Söflingen, a district of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg. According to its official website, the brewery looks back on more than 135 years of family brewing tradition. It produces beer and also a house-made gin, and it operates a restaurant (Gaststätte) alongside its brewing facilities. The brewery presents itself as a hands-on, tradition-conscious operation: visitors can follow the production process from grain ("Korn") to freshly tapped beer ("Gerstensaft") station by station, and guided brewery tours with tastings are a core part of its public offering. The brewery's tour program is described in detail on its website. Tours last roughly 1.5 to 2 hours and include beer tasting, the house gin and tonic, and non-alcoholic drinks. A distinctive feature is that beer is tapped fresh from storage tanks in a natural ice cellar kept at 0 degrees Celsius. The price is stated as 20 EUR per person, with a minimum of 8 participants or a flat rate of 160 EUR. The brewery also emphasizes responsible conduct during tours and reserves the right to end a tour early without refund in case of inappropriate behavior. Kronenbrauerei Söflingen is a small, privately held family business rather than a large corporate group. Its identity is closely tied to its location in Söflingen and to its long family history. The website communicates a down-to-earth, hospitable character, inviting guests to visit the brewery and its adjoining restaurant. Beyond beer and gin, the brewery experience — tours, tastings, and the on-site Gaststätte — is central to how the brand presents itself to the public. As a regional brewery, its market is primarily local and regional within Germany. The brand does not appear to be publicly listed, and no parent company or larger group ownership is indicated in the available evidence. Its official web presence is kronenbier.de, which serves as the main source of information about its products, tours, and restaurant.

It operates a restaurant (Gaststätte) next to the brewery, and it has developed a visitor program that lets guests experience the brewing process up close.
