About this Tour
On our Legendary Kölsch Brewery tour, we take our guests deep into the Old Town of Cologne where the city began. From Roman times until today, let's explore how Cologne became the home of one of Germany's most beloved (according to us!) beers. Through the brewing process, to the laws that govern the name Kölsch, to the people that serve beer, we'll give you the legends and facts you need to understand why our beer culture is so fundamental to the city and its unique spirit!
