Fruh - Fruh Kolsch - Germany - Cologne - 4.8%

Product Information

As noted above, Kölsch is a product which has a protected geographical indication (PGI) in the EU. This protection is not recognized outside the jurisdiction of the EU, and many breweries outside the EU produce and market beer as "kolsch" or "kölsch" with varying degrees of authenticity. Kölsch ( German pronunciation: [kœlʃ]) is a style of beer originating in Cologne (Köln), Germany. It has an original gravity between 11 and 14 degrees Plato (specific gravity of 1.044 to 1.056). In appearance, it is bright and clear with a straw-yellow hue. Traditionally,Kölsch is served by a Köbes. The male only servers calledKöbesse (plural) are a link to the historical beer heritage of Cologne.

A stange holds only 6.5 oz (200 ml) so imbibing the contents of a few glasses in a short time is more the norm than the exception.Fruh Kolsch is the most widely available example and it’s different to differentiate from any bottled Pilsner. This may be the way it’s filtered and pasteurised for bottling. It means though that I only have other peoples romanticized descriptions of Kolsch to go by. In 1986, 24 brewers of Cologne and vicinity agreed upon the Kölsch Konvention, which set out the brewing process that had to be used, and restricted the use of Kölsch to breweries in Cologne, and outside the city, which had already acquired a valuable asset in the designation Kölsch before the Convention came into force.

This type of beer was first called Kölsch in 1918 to describe the beer that had been brewed by the Sünner brewery since 1906, developed from the similar but cloudier variant Weiß (for "white" in the Kölsch dialect). By the start of World War II Cologne had more than forty breweries; only two were left by the end of the war.Redaktion (15 April 2019).

Malt Profile: It’s simple and subtle, primarily Pilsner malt with a touch of Vienna and Wheat for the bright white head. There is nothing brash or bold about these malts. We are aiming for smooth, crisp and clean flavours. In 1946, many of the breweries managed to re-establish themselves. In the 1940s and 1950s, Kölsch still could not match the sales of bottom-fermented beer, but in the 1960s the style began to rise in popularity in the Cologne beer market. From a production of only 500,000 hectolitres (430,000 US beer barrels) in 1960, Cologne's beer production peaked at 3.7millionhl (3.2millionUSbbl) in 1980. In the 21st century, price increases and changing drinking habits caused economic hardship for many of the traditional corner bars ( Kölschkneipen) and smaller breweries, and by 2005 output had declined to 2.4millionhl (2.0millionUSbbl). When you write about it you have to talk about the architecture and the cathedrals in the city. The bars where they serve Kolsch and the waiters that bring the beer to your table in Stange beer glasses. Using this Kolsch recipe as an example I can refer to the guidelines and straight away I know what malt to use, hops, mash schedule, fermentation temperature. As well as colour, ABV, OG, FG and what commercial examples are available should I wish to try those to compare.Originally, before the development of pale malts, Kölsch-style beer was dark in color. It evolved into a crystal-clear, bright-golden beer in the years leading up to the 20th century, in part due to the growing popularity of the Pilsner style and lager production in Germany. Generally warm-fermented with an ale yeast, yet lagered, or matured, at a cold temperature, Kölsch possesses both ale and lager characteristics. (In nearby Düsseldorf, Germany, brewers use the same process with the Altbier style.) Kölsch-style beer exhibits aromas of mild biscuit-y pale malts, subtle fruity ale yeast esters and moderate Noble hops. The flavors of most Kölsch beer brands are quite balanced on the palate, mirroring the aromas with varying degrees of malt, ester and hop character. Kölsch is quite refreshing served cold, but you’ll taste its flavors evolve as the beer warms. Some aficionados, including many Cologne natives, prefer a serving temperature near 50°. The style is subject to relatively tight parameters in terms of how it should look, taste and how it is made.
