The Originals

  • Columbia Kölsch Brand Ale
    This is a smooth, soft-bodied, golden ale that is lightly fruity with a pleasing dry finish. It is styled after the Kölsch beers of Germany. The yeast culture is a hybrid between a lager and an ale. Extended cold conditioning is used to develop the dry finish characteristic of lager beers, and yet retains the fruitiness found in ales. The lower alcohol content makes this a very refreshing, thirst-quenching ale. The Columbia Kölsch is our best-selling draft beer.
