When Oktoberfest is over and the beer steins are put away, it’s easy to forget that the world owes much of its gratitude to Germany for creating some of the most tried-and-true beer styles. The mighty lager, the beer that has found a home in Michelin-starred restaurants and the dusty fridge in your parents’ garage alike, can be traced back to a corner of the globe known as Germany before "Germany" even existed. Budweiser is a lager, sure, but so are the beers that grace the long tables of Oktoberfest. These ancient beers, which are distinguishable from ales by the fact that they utilize bottom-fermenting yeasts that thrive at cooler temperatures, are the building blocks of any beer education.

@ about the history of Rot-Haus:

Through the process of secularization, the possession of the monastery and its properties was transferred to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806. Since then, the brewery has been known as the Großherzoglich Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus (Grand ducal state-owned brewery of Baden). The November Revolution of 1918, which led to the abolition of the monarchy in Baden, caused the company to shorten their name to Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus (State-owned brewery of Baden), as from then on the brewery was owned by the state of Baden

There's a German restaurant and bar not far from me that I used to frequent when I had a boyfriend who liked the place. I drank very yummy brown beer. No idea what it was called, but it was on tap and came in a big ole mug. Not cold, iirc.

If the place is not far from you, maybe you can take a look again? :)
 
I wondered why these beers that I listed seem to be so unknown.

I suppose it is because of this:
Other countries have one or two enormous firms, that swamp and rule the market.
German breweries usually are middle sized and more regional.
So they are not so well known world-wide.
Can that be?
 
Beck's Brewery, also known as Brauerei Beck & Co., is a brewery in the northern German city of Bremen. In 2001, Interbrew bought Brauerei Beck for 1.8 billion euros; at that time it was the fourth-largest brewer in Germany.[2] US manufacture of Beck's has been based in St. Louis, Missouri, since early 2012.[3]


The Beck's brewery in Bremen

The Beck's Brewery beer Haake-Beck sponsors Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.
Since 2008, it has been owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV subsidiary Interbrew.[4][5]

Beck's key logo is based upon the city of Bremen's coat of arms, which contains a key attributed to the patron saint of the city, Saint Peter.

Maybe this beer is better known internationally, because Anheuser-Bush owns it?

So help my memory, @Rumpel, do Germans drink their beer cold?
