Description
The Rothaus Pils Tannenzapfle has existed since 1956, so for almost 60 years. Its unusual name is embodied on the labels of the 0.33 l bottles. Just as today, the original Tannenzapfle labels depicted spruce fir branches accompanied by pinecones. These pinecones are what gave this beer its name. In the 50's it was extremely unusual to serve beer in such small bottles. Beers in 0.7 L bottles were the norm. But despite its unusual size, the Tannenzapfle quickly made more and more friends. But there's one other characteristic that makes the Tannenzapfle special; it was the first Rothaus beer to emerge with a label depicting Biergit, the Black Forest girl holding two glasses of beer. Today, Biergit is the defining symbol for all beers made by the Rothaus Brewery. -- Distributor's Notes
