Inspired by “Kölsch” historic journey from the 14th century to the “Kölsch Konvention of 1986” that granted the “Kölsch style” A.O.C. (Appellation d'origine contrôlée).
Around 1400 a unique brew called “Keutebier” made its way into the city of Cologne.
Then in the 19th century the innovation of indirect kilning during industrial revolution allowed brewmasters to create “Altrheinisches-Hopfenbitteres” sometimes also referred to as “Kölsch Wiess”. It was top-fermenting and cold aged, unfiltered and quite hoppy. It was the historic forerunner of our Reissdorf Kölsch.
What was it like? Enjoy Reissdorf “Dröppche” (Cologne dialect for “little drop”), for a trip back in the history of "Kölsch".
