Calanda Bräu (German for "Calanda Brew") is abrewery inChur, in theCanton of Graubünden,Switzerland, owned byHeineken N.V. Itslagers, brewed usingAlpine spring water, are available across Switzerland.
The Calanda Bräu name dates from 1971, as the new name of theRhätische Aktienbräuerei (itself dating from 1902), which at the time had control over all independent breweries in the Canton ofGraubünden.[1] The regionalBrauerei Haldengut [de] inWinterthur joined in 1989,[1] forming Calanda Haldengut.
In 1993, Calanda Haldengut was acquired byHeineken.[2] After the merger, Heineken moved brewing of Haldengut beer to Chur, and closed the Winterthur brewery. As of 2008, Calanda and Haldengut are both marketed across Switzerland, with a modest national market share of 2.7% each.[2] Beginning in 2013, the brewery also bottles beer from theHeineken-ownedBrauerei Eichhof [de] inLucerne; the beer is transported by train to Chur.[3]
