Kölsch - Barrel to Bottle Samples Cologne's Finest

Kölsch, the beer of Cologne, Germany and a favorite among Chicago-area drinkers for several decades now. This week we’re trying authentic German Kölsch, local favorites, and the beer that made Chicago fall in love with Kölsch. Plus an NA version for good measure.
