Located in northern Switzerland, bordering Germany, is the village of Riehan, which has one brewpub. Zur Grunen Amsel (translates as the Green Blackbird) is primarily a restaurant, but they feature beer from the in-house Hausbrauerei Amsel-Brau brewery. There is free parking along the street, and there is a train station walking distance away. Nearby is a village park and various shops. The white building is two-story with green shutters and a green bird logo overhead, which is also the mascot on the label of their bottled beers. Just inside is a welcome room and ahead on the right is a short wooden bar where the staff pours the beers from a stainless steel tap tower. They have 3 house beers on tap, which I tried in small pours, and a as well as a larger variety in bottles, which they also sell to go. Their beer is well made across an impressive range of styles - I was impressed. Also behind the bar are shelves of various liquors and wines. The small bar room has a few lounge chairs and just outside is an enclosed courtyard with a few tables. From there you can get a decent view into the brewery itself. On the ground floor are short stainless steel fermenters and stacks of beer. The brewing vessels are in the 2nd story room upstairs and outside are stacks of kegs to be filled. Under the brewery window are inverted hanging bottles of their beer. Past the bar room is a rustic dining room with a few large dining tables. The floor is tiled and the wood trim walls are decorated with historic plates and pictures. They serve traditional German inspired cuisine in a family friendly ambience. The staff is welcoming, helpful and neighborly. It is a fine place for a meal and drinks, or you can take their enjoyable beer to go.

Eine Einkehr zur grünen Amsel ist ein Genuss. Am besten ein Tisch Reservieren. Es lohnt sich ;)
Sehr gesellig. Gemütlicher aber sehr kleiner Aussenbereich. Älplermagronen und Nüsslisalat sind immer ein Genuss. Laut Kollegen und Bekannten sind die Tageswähe auch zu empfehlen.
War vor einer guten Weile da. Top Frische Top Personal Top Bedienung.
Wir fühlten uns in der grünen Amsel so wohl, wie schon lange nicht mehr. Sehr liebenswürdige, freundliche Bedienung, alles ist authentisch, alles ist echt. Die Karte ist einfach (und einfach köstlich!), das selbstgebraute Bier allein ist schon einen Besuch wert... schön, dass es euch gibt.
Cenato con insalata di pollo e coppa Danimarca in ambiente vecchia osteria servito molto gentilmente da due simpatiche fanciulle
Super leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung. Die Dekoration ist auch klasse.
Super Bier. Super Sevice!
