Stange Kölsch — Hand-Illustration

Modern Cologne Tour

Three young breweries, three generations on.

Duration: 3 h 30 minfrom 45,00 €📍 Ehrenfeld station

Three young breweries, three generations on.

Not just Kölsch. We visit three modern breweries in Ehrenfeld and Mülheim that experiment with IPAs, sours and stouts — and still call Cologne home.

Stops

  1. 1. Braustelle, Ehrenfeld
    Helios Lager and an experimental pale ale. A microbrewery with a bistro.
  2. 2. Hellers Volksgarten
    Organic Kölsch and seasonal specials, straight from the brewhouse.
  3. 3. Sünner in the back yard
    Cologne's oldest Kölsch brewery — and one of the most experimental.

Frequently asked

  • Where do we meet?

    The meeting point is in each tour description. Look for Tobias in the red cap and a laugh you can hear from a block away. Show up five minutes early — Cologne is not running off.

  • Can I cancel?

    Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour. No questions asked. After that, the brewhouses are reserved and the Köbes is waiting — please call us if something urgent comes up: +49 221 555 0 555.

  • How do I pay?

    Online when you book — card, PayPal, SEPA. In the brewhouses, everyone pays for their own glasses — that is the Cologne tradition. Tip the Köbes if you feel like it.

  • Do tours run in the rain?

    Brewhouse tours always run — we are inside anyway. For the old-town walk: bring an umbrella, we still go. We only postpone for storm warnings, and you will get an email if that happens.

  • Can I bring kids?

    On the Old Town Classic, yes — under-14s come free. Brewhouse tours are 18+. If your kid is 16 or 17 and wants to join, just ask, we figure it out.

  • What language is the tour in?

    Default is German (with the occasional Cologne dialect). English tours on request — Tobias and Mara run both. Drop us a line ahead of time and we will book the right guide.
