From the record
Summary
Cologne's largest Kölsch producer. Kölsch is protected by the 1986 Kölsch Konvention, which restricts the name to breweries in and around Cologne — one of very few beer appellations anywhere.
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
Kölsch is one of the only beer styles in the world with a legal boundary drawn round it, like Champagne. Brew the same beer thirty miles away and you may not call it that. It is served in 200ml stangen that get replaced without asking, which keeps it cold and keeps the argument with Düsseldorf going.

Served in 200ml stangen that get replaced without asking. Kölsch is legally restricted to Cologne, which makes this beer geographically impossible to copy.
