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.

*Old rating, best before 13.02.10. Malziges, nicht zu tiefes Bier. Fresh and easy to drink. The body is beside water slightly grainy and slightly sweetish. Not as penetrant as other free beers, but still tasteable.

0,33 l bottle. Clear and very pale golden in the glass. Small fine foamy head. Hope and grain on the nose. Starts with a short hop taste, followed by a more grainy sequence. Sour hints. Not that herb hop bitterness, that we are knowing here in int northwest of Germany. More a decent one out of the southwest. Little bit thin ending.

Flaska från kompis, tack Johan! Ljust gyllengul med vitt tjockt och härligt skum. Doftar säd och lite burkgrönsaker. Gräddig smak med låg sötma och matchande beska. Inte perfekt krispig men inte långt ifrån heller.

Typical northern German Pilsener with a label originally dating from 1956, to celebrate the brewery’s 50th birthday. Snow white, medium thick, creamy head leaving nice lacing; pure golden blonde colour, very little sparkling. Malt sweetish aroma, grainy, peppery and flowery hops; neutral taste, medium to strong carbo, mineral-like, grainy sweetishness, ending in an assertive, long, dry, peppery hop bitterness which sticks for quite a long time, even for this substyle.
