OT: Brauerei Hösl Rothenstadt/Zoigl

A useful guide but not entirely accurate.  Some of the so-called 'Zoiglstube' are really trading under false pretences as they do not sell Zoigl from a kommunbraurerei but beer from a commercial brewery (they are sometimes quite 'diffident' about revealing their suppliers).

Also, this version misses out the fact that the Weisser Schwanne (pub/restaurant/butcher - home of a most charming and hospital group of 'stammtischers') in Eschawo is listed in the 2014 Windischeschenbach as a 'Zoiglstube' - Beim Schwannerer.  I think that this to make up for the fact that, in some months, on some weekends, only Wolframstube is open and, of course, Wolframstube does not brew its beer at the kommunbrauerei, being a micro-brewery in its own right. 

Actually, I think that 'the Swan' has every right to consider itself as a 'Zoiglstube' as it serves excellent (mostly) Zoigl brewed in the kommunbrauerei by Robert Sperber of Beim Binner.  Like the equally excellent Loistl, it suffers from being a regular weekday outlet and not falling into the weekend rotation.
