Description
The Rothaus Brewery was founded 1791 through the Benedictine monastery St. Blasien in the “Zum Rothen Haus” inn (“To the Red House” in English). Following the secularizations of 1806, the Rothaus Brewery fell out of the hands of the monks and became property of the Grand Duchy of Baden and was renamed the “Großherzogliche Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus” (Grand Ducal State Brewery Rothaus of Baden). The November Revolution of 1918, which led to the abolition of the monarchy in Baden, caused the company to shorten their name to Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus (State-owned brewery of Baden), as from then on the brewery was owned by the federal state of Baden.

Since 1922, the company has had the legal form of a stock corporation, the shares of which are currently held entirely by the associated company of the state of Baden-Württemberg. The continuously large demand for Rothaus beer has in the past made large investments necessary. This allowed the Rothaus Brewery to grow into one of the most modern facilities in Germany.

"Tannenzäpfle heller Bock", Fläschchen von Ambrosetti, 9.6.2026. - Wunderschönes historisches Etikett. - Goldgelb, blank. - In der Nase schweres, zart rauchiges (um nicht zu sagen: dumpfes) helles Malz und aromatische, verhalten zitronige Hopfung. - Antrunk schwer und dicht hellmalzig mit verhaltener Süße und gedämpfter zitrusfruchtiger Hopfung. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang frische grasige Bittere. - Sauberer heller Bock, etwas zu nüchtern und glatt. Man merkt ihm die Herkunft aus einer Pilsbrauerei an.

Bottle from Beer Merchants. It pours hazy pake yellow with a decent fluffy white cap. The aroma has some beer characteristics... Toasty grains, damp malt, nuttiness, grass, then it is sweet, sugary, cheap lemonade, candied lemon and tangy lime. The taste is crisp, snappy, then sweetness, sugared lemons, lemonade, lime, muted zingy pucker, hint of the base beer in the backdrop, touch of toasty grains and grass. Finish is tangy lemonade. Average radler body and moderate carbonation. probably eers on being a touch sweet, but this still hit the spot on a hot day.
