A brewery that does accommodation is difficult to review, as there are two very different aspects to consider.
Let's take the accommodation first. At 40 Euros a night it was a bargain. Given the venue I expected sleep to be a little hard to come by, but my first 2 nights here were those wonderful sleeps where you become one with the pillow. Bathrooms were clean, modern and spacious. Oh and the breakfast, while too busy, was a very good choice of bread cheese and meats, all organised by a poor woman hurried off her feet. There was some other foodstuff too I think, but I didn't need to look beyond what I like. Drawbacks? Well the single room I had was very narrow. Didn't really bother me, but I could imagine it bothering some. I also had to change rooms during my stay, which was inconvenient and drove me to drink...while I waited for my new room to be made up....at 10am. Still - 4 stars for this particular bowstring.
The Brewery? Well I liked the look of it, it was typically German in this respect. I love a place with a 350+ year history and I like their icon, the dwarf rolling the barrel. The beer...well for me this is what let the venue down a little. Their dark bottled beer Zwergla was pretty decent, but their Hell and Lagerbier, which I drank onsite and elsewhere, tasted to me like bad lager in English pubs. I wanted to like them, but compared to the local brewery competition they failed...hard. I guess this could be a personal taste thing but....2 stars
I feel a bit horrible typing this because the staff I encountered were all friendly..but my recommendation would be stay here...drink elsewhere. read more
