Rothaus

Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus is a brewery in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Rothaus, located on the outskirts of the southern Black Forest settlement of Grafenhausen, is one of Germany's most successful and lucrative regional brewers. The brewery's most successful product is Rothaus Tannenzäpfle, or simply Zäpfle, a Pilsner-style beer sold in bottles and accessible in stores across Baden-Württemberg. It is a well-known cult beer in Germany, and it is available in supermarkets, kiosks, and numerous nightlife facilities. Despite Rothaus's lack of aggressive advertising, demand for the once-local beer has grown throughout Germany.

Every bottle's label has a blonde girl dressed in traditional costume holding a drink in either hand. Fans of the beer began to refer to her as Biergit Kraft, a play on words in the local Alemannic dialect. Bier git Kraft translates as "strengthening beer." The Tannenzäpfle label also depicts seven fir cones, which resulted in the beer's name. Since 1972, the present label has been in use. The girl and the fir cones initially appeared on the label in 1956 as part of a photorealistic artwork. The original label was reissued as a limited edition in 2006 to commemorate Rothaus's 50th anniversary.

The malted grain is crushed at the start of the brewing process. To make the mash, brewing water is combined in the mash containers and heated. This separates the liquid from the solid components, which are the brewer's grains. The acquired result is known as wort, and it now makes its way to the brewing pan with its vital elements. The hops were put to the brewing pan. The wort is vigorously heated for almost an hour, which dissolves the bitter compounds in the hops and imparts a pleasant scent to the wort. The brewing time is around eight hours. Rothaus' intricate brewing process culminates in what they do best every day. The region and every bottle of Rothaus beer represent the serenity and care with which they make their brews.
