On tap as 'Alte Thorschenke Schwarz' in the fake 'brauhaus' of the same name (in Cochem). All four draft beers are brewed by Lahnsteiner according to the staff. 0.4 Litre glass of this tried on 8th November 2025 with a meal. Weak and watery Schwarz bier with a semi sweet front, drinkable but not great.

On tap as 'Alte Thorschenke Kolsch' in the fake 'brauhaus' of the same name (in Cochem). All four draft beers are brewed by Lahnsteiner according to the staff, this is the only Kolsch I can find on the brewery page, so adding it here. 0.4 Litre glass, typical odourless and almost tasteless Kolsch, wet and thirst quenching, but just lacking in flavour and oomph (like most beers in this style).

On tap as 'Alte Thorschenke Helles' in the fake 'brauhaus' of the same name (in Cochem). All four draft beers are brewed by Lahnsteiner according to the staff. 0.4 Litre glass, clean and clear golden body, white crown. Perfectly acceptable Helles, not a lot going on, but it's a decent enough blend of hops and malts without it blowing any bodies socks off.
