Früh Kölsch...$11.99 / 4pk / 16.9oz cans
Früh Kölsch is a regional specialty from Cologne Germany since 1904.
A beer that is distinctive to the city of Cologne, the name Kölsch is protected by law so that only beers brewed in and around the city can bear the name. If it’s not from Cologne(Köln), then it’s not Kölsch.
This all natural, top-fermented crisp and refreshing beer is famous for its malt aroma and delicate flavor of vanilla and flowery hops. The original Früh Brew Haus is the second largest beer hall in Germany with over 2.5 million visitors annually.
“Real” Kölsch refers to beer that is brewed in Cologne (Köln), Germany, under protected rules, not just a Kölsch-style ale.
Here’s what makes it authentic:
- Protected Designation (PGI): Kölsch is legally protected in the EU. To be called Kölsch, it must be brewed within the city limits of Cologne and follow the Kölsch Konvention.
- Top-fermented ale: It’s fermented warm with ale yeast, then cold-conditioned like a lager, giving it a clean, crisp profile.
- Very pale and delicate: Typically 4.4–5.2% ABV, straw-gold in color, light body, subtle fruitiness, gentle hop bitterness, and a dry, refreshing finish.
