ABOUT
The Rothaus Brewery is Germany’s highest brewery by elevation, at 1,000 meters above sea level. Situated in Germany’s beautiful Black Forest, the brewery was first established in 1791. Today, Rothaus is accredited as one of the most successful breweries in Germany, largely due to the high quality of their products.
FUN FACTS
-
- Tannenzäpfle means “pine cone” in German – a fitting name as there are many pine cone producing spruce-fir trees in the Black Forest.
-
- The icon, “Biergit” (beer girl), a Black Forest girl holding two glasses of beer, first debuted in 1956 and is now the defining symbol for all beers made for the Rothaus Brewery.

-
- Eiszäpfle – As is typical for this variety, Rothaus Märzen has a higher original gravity (13.4%) and a slightly lower hop content (25 IBU’s) in comparison to our Tannenzäpfle Pils. As a result, the flavor is more full-bodied with a malty finish, while the bitter flavors recede to the background. Just like with our Pils, the fermentation process utilizes bottom-fermented yeast. Similarly, the storage time requires roughly four weeks of temperatures down to 35.5 F.
