Em Dackelsche - Kölsch

This beer is dedicated to a very special group of people The Köbes is the Cologne equivalent of a waiter, but being a Köbes requires far more than just the skillful balancing of a full tray The Cologne Köbes is the king of pubs He rules and directs, he stages and impresses When you enter the realm of a Köbes, you place yourself trustingly in his hands He decides where you settle down and reliably supplies you with a never-ending stream of fresh, cool beer Even before your glass is empty, the Köbes is already bringing you a new full one, He decides where you sit down and reliably supplies you with a never-ending stream of fresh, cool beer Even before the glass is empty, the Köbes is already carrying a new, full one If you have to ask for a refill, you don't have a real Köbes in front of you To enjoy this outstanding service, however, you have to put up with the sometimes stubborn nature of Cologne's beer kings As the sole ruler of the breweries, the Köbes can get away with a lot: Cheeky remarks, minor rudeness and merciless directness are the price you pay for enjoying the beer

The Cologne brewery Lieber Waldi knows and loves the Köbes for everything he embodies and has created a fine Wiess in his honour This traditional beer style is seen as the archetype of today's Kölsch and is characterized by its lean body and fresh and drinkable character

Cheers to the Köbes!
