Overview

What do you need to see in Cologne? The cathedral for sure! But what else? Well, the brewhouse culture here is very important for the Cologne people and it gives you a deep impression of the mentality, the humor and the daily life of our city! We would love to take you on a tour through our brewhouses, show you different spots that you might just have passed and tell you funny and interesting stories about our city, the beer and our legends.

There is no minimum group size, so we do not cancel a tour in the last minute if it is not full - unlike other companies! Join us on our brewhouse tour!
