The breweries displayed with a yellow background do not appear anymore on the list of the Federal Customs, yet seem to be still active. I will keep them for some time in the hope that they will regulate their situation.

23'000 hl

list of beers

17 9.67

Brewer: Alois Gmür
Founded in 1872 by Joseph Thorner, Rosengarten - which took its actual name in 1900 - has always been a family-owned and independant company. Very successful in its region, this brewery has more than doubled its production since 1990 to reach about 23'000 nowadays. It has 23 employees and a brewhouse of 60 hl.
Specialized in alternate grain beers, Rosengarten is producing the first corn beer of Switzerland (Maisgold) since 1980 and a spelt beer (Dinkel) since 1996. Produces only bottom-fermented beers (except the Weizen) of german traditional styles. Is exporting 4 beers to the USA (new names of existing beers). Produces beers for Gottardo, Entlebucher Bier, Lanzbier and Pfauenbier under contract.
Their fierce adherence to german traditional style is less a problem to me than the lack of character of their beers.
