Maybe – Will Kolsch Service Catch On?

In recent weeks, I have seen two Los Angeles craft beer spots offer Kolsch service.  In the stange, on the tray, coaster over glass when done.  The whole kit and kaboodle.  Whatever a kaboodle is.

I would like to see it return for sure because I have not experienced it in all its Teutonic glory and even a California facsimile would be fun.  But I think it would be better as a limited time type of offer.  Just in summer on Sundays or as is the case at Tony’s Darts Away in Burbank paired with Tarot Card readings

World Cup + World Beer – Germany

TODAY: GERMANY V. ARGENTINA

Germany did not get an easy road, did they? First they get England, who even when not playing well, are not an easy out. Then they get an Argentina squad that took apart a pretty good Mexico team.

My beer of choice for this tilt is a completely German style, kolsch. Fru Kolsch is a prime example of this light and refreshing brew.

If you have the appropriate glassware (it is called a stange which is German for pole). By all means use it. It really does affect the taste and aroma.
