See, Hopfenundmalz knows exactly what I mean, so it's a word!

In the top three of my favorite German beers. What and where?

I'm stumped. The glass looks like a Kölsch glass.

On your way home?

[homoeccentricus]

Yep. For me best beer I have tasted during this trip, after Weihenstephaner.

[homoeccentricus]

Where am I?

[narcout]

Dingemans?

Too easy

Awesome. Silly question - can you buy malt by the bag there, or do you need to buy from a shop or wholesaler?

I was there with a friend (nano brewer) who bought 4 sacks of 25 kg, so yes it's possible. Not sure if you are a hobby brewer.

Which Kölsch brewery is your favorite? Might be in Kölsch next year.

If you are in Kölsch next year you will be in trouble but if you are in Köln you might want to visit Paffgen and Peters. I also visited Fruh and Malzmuhle but found them not as good. And stay away from the bottles, I thinkth they are not worth it.

How did that typo happen? Dang.

Thanks for the recommendations.

"A beer may taste extra special because of the feel of the table where you’re sitting. It may be better because of the beauty of the historic old building and the friendly locals. Perhaps the warm weather, the comfortable clothes you’re wearing, and the extra Euros you discovered in your pocket help it taste really good, too! Everything that affects you affects your perception and ultimately your enjoyment of any beer. Perhaps, in the end, there isn’t anywhere else in the world that a Kölsch will taste as good as it did that special day in Cologne, but one never knows what unique joy the next beer moment may bring. So, make the most of each moment and enjoy each beer as if it were completely unique, because in reality it is unique to you and the moment you are enjoying." J. Zainasheff

Except that that special feeling did not come with a bottle of Kolsch

'Special feelings' aside, there was a pretty good article on Kölsch in the May/June '17 issue of Zymurgy.  Cheers to 'special feelings'.
