Kronenbourg sparkles with ambitions in alcohol-free beers

The horizon is clearing up for drink and alcohol manufacturers, very present in restaurants and bars, closed for more than six months.

Among them, Kronenbourg (1664, Tourtel, Grimbergen…), whose sales in France fell by 12% in France last year, to 844 million euros.

While the reopening of hotel terraces and restaurants is looming (May 19), which account for 30% of its outlets, the French subsidiary of the Danish giant Carlsberg wants to believe that the crisis has not dried up the renewed taste of the French for the beer.
