Great time! - Devis gate the 4 of us a great experience. He took us to 4 brewpubs to show us different Kolsch styles. Every visit was fun. Even on a Friday night his connections with the brewpub staff got us great seats. He taught us brewpub etiquette and made us think about what we were drinking and why we liked one beer better than another.

Discovering kolsch beer. - The tour guide spoke decent English and had a firm grasp of the history he was presenting. Some of his jokes fell flat, but he always recovered quickly. Kolsch was excellent!

A superb overview of Kölsch culture in Cologne - I couldn’t rate this tour more highly - it’s an excellent overview of Kölsch beer with stops at several of the top Bierhaus in Cologne. A friendly knowledgeable guide, Chris is a fantastic host on a journey through the history of Kölsch, what makes it special and how it came about. The tour includes stops at the most important bierhaus breweries - places that you’d surely miss if just wandering around Cologne on your own. The tour is one of the best I’ve taken and I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of not just Kölsch but also of Cologne because of it. Five stars out of five.

Make this your first stop in Köln - Had a great tour of the brew houses of Koln Chris was an excellent guide and we learned a lot about the rules of the brew houses which answered a lot of previous confused encounters Learned a lot about the history and culture while we worked our way through some tasty Kolsh Really recommend this as a first stop before you go on to further explore the region
