Thanks! We have a kolsch on year round now at the tap room at Yellowhammer. It is served in a  traditional stange and comes equally clear using biofine clear. For the YH version I use WY2565

Yellowhammer Kolsch is very good. But, I have to admit last time I was there I ask for it in a shaker.

We are looking to get rid of the shaker pints at next place.

Also, yeah, our kolsch is pretty darn good considering I just use straight filtered tap water. I'd love to be working with RO water for that style!

Most likely going stemmed. I haven't completely decided yet.

Extraordinary beer deserves better than an ordinary class. (Except the stange. Too narrow for me.)

PS. My homebrew is average. I still mostly drink it out of shakers and tulips.

I personally feel a kolsch tastes better out of a stange.

I've gone to stemless wine glasses for my sours, belgians, and dark beers. Nice for any beer you want to highlight aroma.


I'm going to pick up a box of stangs for lagers

Perhaps that was meant for the thread that mentions SN using Simcoe in their Kolsch??

May be the best IIPA or IIIPA ever created (in someone's opinion), but not the best beer ever created. If you are in the mood for a dunkel or a kolsch, Pliny the Younger is a sad, sorry fit. And since we have gone completely sideways I'll add that, for the record, it's attitudes like that that have completely destroyed Rate beer and Beer Advocate.

Yeah, there is no 'best beer ever created' IMO. Too many styles and personal preferences. No way a IIPA (or any beer) should be recognized as such every year, especially when 90% of the voters have likely never tried it.  ;)

Keith and Jon both get +1, very good insights. I have really never spent any time on rate beer or beer advocate because I always hear nonsense about both sites
