What to expect

Cologne's passion for its local beer, Kölsch, is unparalleled throughout Germany. But what sets this brew apart? Could it be the distinctive culture that envelops it? Or perhaps it's the centuries-old tradition of the historic breweries nestled within one of Germany's most ancient Old Towns? Maybe it's the clear, crisp flavour of the beer, served in the famous glasses and brewed exclusively in Cologne?

Embark on a journey through Cologne's famed Altstadt, getting to know five different varieties of Kölsch, each uniquely brewed within the city. This tour delves beyond mere taste and quality, immersing you in the culture, attitude, and history that have cemented Kölsch as an integral part of Cologne's local identity. The aim is not just to leave you with a deeper understanding of the beer but also of Cologne itself. Known as one of the most welcoming, diverse, and intriguing cities in Western Europe, Cologne's charm extends far beyond its celebrated brew.

By the end of your exploration, you'll have experienced first-hand why Kölsch is so special and why Cologne holds such a cherished place in the hearts of its inhabitants.
