First things first: I come from a long line of Germans and married a man who comes from a long line of Germans, so I consider myself to be somewhat of a German food connoisseur. That said, whenever anyone asks me where to find the best German food in Colorado, I point them in the direction of this fabulous restaurant that just so happens to serve amazing, gigantic pretzels:

Welcome to the Rhein Haus, which specializes in “Bocce, Bier, Brats” and serves some of the best German food you’ll find stateside.

But onto the good stuff: the food! If you have never had authentic German food (and even if you have), you are in for a treat, as Rhein Haus serves such staples as bratwursts, kielbasa, and other types of sausage…
