Brewed in strict accordance with the Kölsch Konvention, Früh Kölsch is a classic top-fermented beer that combines the subtle fruitiness of an ale with the clean, crisp finish of a lager.

This iconic Kölsch is a beautifully balanced, refreshing beer that’s light in body but full in character — perfect for easy drinking and sociable sessions.

• Cheeses: Complements soft, creamy cheeses like camembert or young gouda
