What is Kölsch Beer?
Kölsch beer is a distinctive style originating from Cologne – or Köln – in Germany.
Unlike a typical lager, Kölsch is traditionally made using top-fermenting yeast before being conditioned at cooler temperatures. The result combines some of the fruity characteristics associated with ales with the clean, crisp drinkability many people associate with lager.
This makes German Kölsch a great introduction for lager drinkers interested in exploring traditional German beer styles.

Gaffel Kölsch vs German Lager

Kölsch uses top-fermenting yeast before undergoing cool conditioning, helping create its characteristic balance between subtle fruity ale flavours and a clean, lager-like finish.
