Description
Päffgen ist die älteste Hausbrauerei Kölns und braut noch heute in ihrer ursprünglichen Lage im Friesenviertel. Das Herz des Betriebes schlägt im Sudhaus hinter dem Biergarten. Bis in die 50er Jahre führte der einzige Anfahrtsweg ins Hinterhaus quer durchs Lokal. Noch heute kann man in der Schänke zwischen Zapfbock und "Aula" die kleinen Tischchen an die Wand klappen, wo früher Pferdefuhrwerke durch die Wirtschaft rumpelten. Mittlerweile kommen Hopfen und Malz durch ein Tor von der Rückseite.

This is the top notch kolsch from Köln. The purest and truest to the way I like the classic style. Lommerzheim Köln

On tap at P�ffgen, pours a clear bright golden with a medium white head. Aroma is clean and crisp, with gentle grassiness and straw. Flavour follows, with a very clean, more bitter grassiness than most kolschs, finishing with a crisp, clean and somewhat long bitter finish. Drinks more like a pils, which is probably why it's rated the best German kolsch. Very good.

It's so easy to dip into a place for a 200ml Kölsch. I always thought it was an exceedingly boring beer style but I can see the value! Very pleasant.
