We were in Cologne for a couple nights, and while we were there, we made sure to go to one of the famous Kölsch beer halls. Kölsch is beer from Cologne, and it is light and yellow and tastes, well, good. It is served at every bar in the city, but the waiters that serve Kölsch in the traditional beer halls are super serious about their job and put on a good show. They just keep plopping down a new beer in front of you even before you finish your current one, just simply using their pen to make a little tick on your coaster – as you can see below – to keep track of your bill.
