editKölsch (countable and uncountable, plural Kölsches or Kölschs)
- A type of lager-conditioned ale traditionally brewed in and around Cologne, Germany.
- 1999, The New Brewer, page 11:
- We are starting to see more Kölschs, more Pilseners, and a renaissance of so-called “pre-Prohibition-style” lagers. This is a positive trend. Compared to pale ales, amber ales and “amber” lagers, true Kölschs and Pilseners have been underrepresented in the mix of brands produced by microbrewers, regional brewers and brewpubs in the U.S. today.
- 2003, The New Brewer, page 39:
- Looking at the industry as a whole, I see a rich and diverse beer culture in America that offers everything from lightly flavored summer Kölsches to unbelievably assertive imperial IPAs.
- 2009, Christina Perozzi; Hallie Beaune, The Naked Pint: An Unadulterated Guide to Craft Beer, Perigee, →ISBN:
- Though you may feel the need to dare to drink different, bigger brews, and we encourage this rock ’n’ roll spirit, we want you to recognize the vastness of the craft world within even one style of beer, the pleasure that can come from comparing Kölschs and weighing in on Witbiers.
- 2011, Tom Chesshyre, “Cologne: ‘Fear and Loathing by the Rhine’”, in Tales from the Fast Trains: Europe at 186 MPH, Summersdale Publishers, →ISBN, page 276:
- It’s a bracing, bright day, the kind of morning that wakes you up and clears your head, and I soon realise I’m not feeling too bad at all. Remarkable really, after all those Kölschs: nothing short of a miracle.
- 2013, Jeff Martindale, “Spontaneous Germany”, in An Accidental Globetrotter: A Travel Memoir, Bloomington, Ind.: iUniverse, Inc., →ISBN, page 71:
- Roland ordered us two Kölsches, which arrived as we pondered the menu—actually, Roland did most of the pondering as it was printed completely in German; I just wondered.
- 2013, Mark Dredge, Craft Beer World: A Guide to Over 350 of the Finest Beers Known to Man, Dog ‘n’ Bone Books, →ISBN:
- Styles range from lager-like Kölschs and hazy Hefeweizens, through best bitters and porters, to IPAs and up to huge Imperial Stouts and Barley Wines. […] Whereas you can buy other Köln-brewed Kölschs in bottles (such as Früh, Gäffel, Dom), you need to go to the brewery to drink Päffgen.
- 2014 September, Sean Lewis, ““Somebody Please Notice We’re Here!””, in We Make Beer: Inside the Spirit and Artistry of America’s Craft Brewers, St. Martin’s Press, →ISBN, pages 148–149:
- But Paul was not content to brew endless amounts of blonde ales, Kölschs, and amber ales because he had been told that he could never sell an IPA in Nebraska: “We had several people from the very beginning tell us not to make those beers,” head brewer Tyson Arp said.
- 2015, Mark Dredge, The Best Beer in the World: One Man’s Globe Search for the Perfect Pint, Dog ‘n’ Bone Books, →ISBN:
- Back in town I continue my search and find a few more Kölsches: Brauhaus Sion (nice grapefruity freshness), Brauhaus Peter (clean and hoppy), and Reissdorf (a little sweet, a little toasty). […] In the last two days I have drunk 10 different beers in each city and feel the Kölsches were within a narrower flavor profile, being relatively similar to each other, whereas Alts had more range of aroma and flavor.
- 2017, Thea Engst, Lauren Vigdor, “How to Order”, in Drink Like a Bartender, Adams Media, →ISBN, page 92:
- Beers that are fermented at higher temperatures (usually between 50°F and 80°F), causing the yeast to rise to the top. It’s a process used for a variety of styles, including, but not limited to, ales like Goses, wheats, Kölsches, and porters.
- 2021, Isabel Rogers, Continental Riff (The Stockwell Park Orchestra Series; volume three), Farrago, →ISBN:
- ‘Word is Julian didn’t get his shiner just falling down the stairs after a few too many Kölsches, if you get me.’
- 2022, David M Thomas, The Schneider Papers, Novum, →ISBN:
- Mason had noticed the range of lagers and beers on tap and suggested two Kölschs’ and some potato chips.
