500 Liter Gaffel Tanks
What makes us special: Our Kölsch comes directly from 500-liter tanks in the cellar.
Why 500L tanks make the difference
Most restaurants tap their beer from 30L or 50L kegs. At Em Höttche, we go one step further: Our 500-liter Gaffel tanks.
The Kölsch comes fresh from the Gaffel brewery in Cologne and is stored under optimal conditions. With the fast turnover of 500 liters, every glass is as fresh as at the brewmaster's!
