The brewery in Fribourg was closed in 2011, and today Cardinal is brewed at the Feldschlösschen brewery in Rheinfelden, Aargau.[2][3]

The flagship beer of the Cardinal brand is Cardinal Blonde, a pale lager, which is heavily promoted in the country.[4] The state and the city of Fribourg took over the factory site on June 1, 2012, for 21.5 million Swiss francs to build a technology and innovation park there.[5]
