Your server will then tally the final bill based on the number of coaster marks.A commemorative German- inspired food menu prepared by Chef David Rinaldi and the Bissell Brothers Kitchen will be available to order through a server direct to your table.For guests who do not wish to participate in our Kölsch Day celebration, the elevated mezzanine and outdoor patio spaces are reserved for normal taproom service.

It is a top-fermenting ale that is conditioned cold like a lager and holds a protected geographical status within the European Union, similar to Bordeaux, Chianti, or Champagne. Regional beer styles, an ingrained part of German culture, include Kölsch. In 1603, in response to competition from bottom-fermented lagers, the Cologne city council enforced brewers to swear an oath to protect their top-fermenting way of life. By 1750, Cologne’s brewers had developed the hybrid style, now recognized as modern Kölsch.
