A warm welcome
to Brauereigasthof-Hotel “Roter Ochsen”!
Welcome to our traditional brewery restaurant and hotel. We welcome you to dine and stay with us in the middle of the historic old town of Ellwangen. Our house is located directly on the Kocher-Jagst cycle path. The family business, which was founded in 1542, officially received their right to brew beer in 1680. Our inn is a historic building which was built step by step, era by era, using the foundation from the original former ale house! It was eventually converted into a brewery inn – yet still, the former ale house’s character and charm have remained!
Opening Hours
Open: 7:00 AM – midnight
The hotel does not close.
Closed: The restaurant is closed on Sunday from 3:00 PM onwards and on Mondays.

Beer Culture
The Ellwangen Red Ox Beers
The water, which is so very important for the brewing process, is sourced from our own spring. It is crystal clear and at is the very freshest water one can brew with. Our carefully chosen brew malts and fine hops originate from regional cultivation. We also abstain from using industrial beer production methods which could affect the freshness and the quality taste of the beer such as using the quick heat up method and also the pasteurization of beers.
