Fir trees, cuckoo clocks, felt hats, the aroma of smoked ham: many things come to mind when you think of the Black Forest. And of course Tannenzäpfle beer is front and centre: The Baden public brewery Rothaus AG opens "Schwarzwald im Gerber" – its first location outside the Black Forest.
The creative concept refers to the brewery’s home city, Rothaus. The Black Forest is rough, dark and mystical – but it’s also light-filled, peaceful and welcoming. The concept expresses these contrasts with Black Forest habitats and precision craftsmanship.
The centrepiece is a massive, dark green tiled oven, created in the traditional style. Especially striking are its hand-made pinecone tiles. Literally in the centre of the room, the oven – with its circular bench and cosy cushions – creates the perfect atmosphere in the dining area. Food is served on rustic wooden tables; snacks and drinks may be enjoyed from the comfort of stylish lounge chairs.
