You absolutely MUST visit Rothaus if you have the opportunity! Without question. DO IT! Yes, it has…read morebeer but it has much more. To begin, as you walk onto the grounds, you will note it is a very active brewery with trucks going in an out of the facility so be careful especially if you bring kids. Yes, you can bring kids, more on that later. Approaching the entrance, there is a photo op in front with a copper kettle previously used to make beer. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, choose outdoor if the weather is nice and expect to be social, as Europeans share tables, so don't be a prude! European bikers frequent this restaurant too but they aren't like American ones and completely harmless if not hilarious with their jokes so think nothing of them. The food is amazing, can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Of course, beer paired with the meal is a must and there is plenty to choose from. They will gladly help you in finding a beer you like. There is also a smaller snack shack should a sit down meal not be your thing. The expanded souvenir shop has plenty of items to choose from to remind yourself of the day. There are tours available as well, one self guided and another with a guide. Even without a tour, you will be impressed by the sheer size of the operation and can glean some insight from the large windows that let you peak in. We happened to be there when they were delivering the hops and it's an amazing smell. The grounds are well kept to include an amazing playground for kids. There is a smaller one near the snack shack that is for the toddlers and under BUT if you have a child with any sense of adventure, the larger one is the draw. There is a massive climbing structure, rock climbing wall, bouncing bridge, swinging net thing ... I can't even properly describe the other obstacles/swing/rope things other than you would NEVER see this in America (mostly due to the propensity for lawsuits) but watch your kids and it will be fine. It's always the highlight for my kids and they were perfectly healthy after but tired. We like going each time we are in Grafenhausen; add it to your trip as well. Can't wait for the special occasion to try their new whiskey we brought back!
