Gaffel Kölsch

Gaffel Kölsch is a traditional top-fermented beer specialty originating from Cologne, Germany. The brand's history is deeply rooted in the heart of the city, specifically at the Eigelstein, where brewing traditions have been upheld for centuries. As a designated 'Kölsch' beer, it is protected by the Kölsch Konvention, ensuring it is brewed exclusively within the Cologne region according to strict traditional standards.

The brand is owned and operated by Privatbrauerei Gaffel Becker & Co., a family-owned enterprise that has maintained its independence amidst global brewery consolidations. The brewery is renowned for its commitment to local heritage and quality, using only water, malt, hops, and hop extract in accordance with the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot). Today, Gaffel remains one of the most prominent Kölsch brands, representing the cultural identity of the Rhineland both domestically and in international markets.
