• Restaurant Heumarkt - Here we will meet to begin our tour with a brief introduction and a summary of the day’s plan! Get to know your fellow guests and get ready to start your journey into Kölsch.
• An der Malzmühle - The second stop of our tour!

We’ll begin our journey into beer tasting here as well with our first Kölsch of the evening, learning about the traditions of Cologne’s beers and the rules associated with drinking it. We’ll also learn about more about the famous brewery where the Mühlen Kölsch is brewed and which famous American became part of its story.

• Heumarkt - A little information on our most famous square and it’s surroundings!
• Bierhaus en d’r Salzgass - Our last stop of the evening, at this bierhaus, we will drink our last Kölsch of the night (or the first of many at our last brewery). Following a tasting of the Päffgen Kölsch, we’ll decide our favorites and learn about the folk hero of beer that oversees the bar.
• Brauhaus Sünner im Walfisch - On our second stop of the evening, you’ll have the chance to sample what by many is considered the oldest Kölsch in Cologne. Here we’ll learn about the strict brewing process that created our beer, the regulations it still must follow and follow the debate over who is allowed to even brew a Kölsch in the first place.
• Alter Markt - It would be a wasted trip to Cologne’s Old Town if we didn’t explore a little of its bizarre and interesting history. We’ll tell a few anecdotes about the past of Cologne to give you a better feel of how we are (and always have been) as a city.
• Gross St. Martin - A brief look at one of the most important Churches on Cologne’s skyline.
• Peters Brauhaus - At Peters Brauhaus, you’ll discover our arch-rival in brewing tradition (and more), learn about those caretakers of our beer and their unique mindsets, and sample our second included Kölsch of the evening.
• FRÜH am Dom, die FRÜH Lounge - Learning about where to drink and how much to pay is essential to understanding Kölsch. While experiencing the largest brewery in Cologne’s Altstadt, we’ll do just that and of course have the chance to sample a Kölsch.

• Alcoholic beverages

Our tour offers a unique insight into what makes Cologne’s Kölsch culture exceptional. Guided by our enthusiastic leaders, who are also avid Kölsch enthusiasts, you’ll gain more than just an understanding of the beer; you’ll discover what drives Cologne behind the scenes and why our beer and our community are so interconnected.
