Beer Garden |
As interesting as Freiburg might have been, and as interesting as our tour through a section of the Black Forest might have been, our visit to Germany would not have been complete without a stop at a brewery. Well, that's according to Mike. So we stopped at the Rothaus brewery, which is located an hour drive from the city in a beautiful mountain setting, and spent some time in their beer garden. This brewery goes back to 1791 when it was started, wait for it, by a Benedictine monastery. Got to give credit to those monks. Not but so many years later the local state government took over the brewery. And to this day, the brewery is owned and operated by the local government.
