The best breweries (Kölsch) in Cologne

Kölsch is one of the symbols of regional identity and showing a preference for Kölsch is a way of affirming one's attachment to Cologne. If Kennedy said in 1963 "Ich bin ein Berliner", President Bill Clinton said at the G8 in Cologne, "Ich bin ein Kölsch". Kölsch has been brewed in Cologne since 874 and today many breweries offer it, traditionally, in a small 2dl glass that will be replaced as soon as it is drunk.
