Cologne: Brewery Tour with 3 Kölsch Beer Tastings

1.Brewery Tour with 3 Kölsch Beer Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,108 reviews · 2 hours · from $32Our pick

Start near Cologne Cathedral and walk to Heumarkt, stopping at three breweries for Kölsch tastings and stories about Cologne’s beer customs. Guides such as Julian, Helena, Emre, and Felix bring an easy, humorous style, while the exact breweries change with group interests and available space.

“The tour was fantastic! It was a small group (6 total) and we all got along and our guide, Onit, was amazing. I loved learning about kölsch and its culture and getting to enjoy and compare three different brands. I also really appreciated not having to choose between the many amazing kölsch breweries. I went on a Friday night in December so everywhere was packed but our guide did a great job finding us places where there was space, good beer, and good stories to tell. I would definitely recommend this tour!”
