According to the profile page of the German brewers' association VAB, the Sankt Blasien monastery was the founder. The brewery has been in state hands since 1806, and the state of Baden-Württemberg is still the owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewery is in Rothaus, part of Grafenhausen, in the High Black Forest, around 1,000 metres above sea level. That makes it the highest-situated brewery in Germany. As early as 1875, Rothaus invested in a special railway wagon, a more powerful steam engine and a new drying kiln for the malthouse. Today you can also take a brewery tour there and stay overnight in the Brauereigasthof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePilsner, Weizen and a returning Tafelbier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best-known beer is the Tannenzäpfle, a German pilsner whose 70th anniversary the brewery celebrates in 2026. Rothaus also brews a Pils, Hefeweizen, Märzen Export, Eiszäpfle, Radler and alcohol-free versions, among others. All of it follows the Reinheitsgebot of 1516.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe water comes from seven natural springs and for the hops Rothaus uses a mix of Hallertau and Tettnang.
