Brewing in Rheinfelden

Rheinfelden has been a centre for the production or beer since the early 18th century. Franz Joseph Dietschy (1770–1842) taking over the “zum Salmen” bar in 1799, along with the associated brewing rights, he not only brewed for the own needs of the affiliated inn, but soon also for other landlords in the area. Over time, he supplied bars and hotels in the areas of Aarau, Basel, Liestal and Schopfheim.

In 1973, the Cardinal brewery moved from Fribourg to Rheinfelden absorbing the Salmen Brewery, itself taken over then by the Feldschlossen Brewery.

Feldschlossen itself is the most famous of the Breweries in Rheinfelden, founded in 1876 by Theophil Roniger, a child of the Rheindfelden district, growing up in Magden before taking apprenticeship in Sackingen. The brewery took advantage of the growing Swiss Railway to expand rapidly becoming the largest brewery in Switzerland, and after its takeover in 2000 by the Carlsberg Group, one of the largest breweries in Europe.
