As I start to think towards July and the various brewpubs and bier kellers that I want to visit, Sauer is most definately on the list. Not really for their kellerbier, that I found just so-so, but for the Braunbier. It has one of the most beautiful colors I've seen on a beer and the first taste was eye-popping. It was one of those moments where my face lit up like I had just found a pot of gold. The sorroundings aren't too shabby either. Situated at the edge of the Franconian Switzerland, Rossdorf Am Forst and it's neighboring village of Geisfeld are sorrounded by lovely, rolling green farmland. The Sauer brewpub is a really quaint, very traditional looking establishment. It's got a small bier garden outside and nice pub with lots of dark wood on the inside. It's very easy to walk inside from the garden and order a beer at the Schwemme (another of many features I love about Franconian brewpubs). We had a fairly nice day so we sat outside in the garden. They've also got a nearby keller that serves only their kellerbier. I had not visited the keller but it looks worth a stop next time around from what I can see on the website.
EDIT: My friend Juergen from Franconia has informed me that they do also serve the Braunbier as well at the keller. Good news indeed!
Here is a picture of the Braunbier in all it's glory. The krugs in the picture contain the kellerbier. I don't rate their kellerbier nearly as well as say nearby Brauerei Griess or Roppelt's in Stiebarlimbach but it's drinkable enough anyhow.
