WikipediaGermany is obviously beer mecca, but switch it up and try a lesser known brew. Kölsch, a super pale ale, is a beer brewed specifically in Cologne, Germany — if it's brewed elsewhere, it has no business calling itself a Kölsch. No really, the Kölsch Konvention of 1986 has very rigid rules as to what can be considered a Kölsch and what cannot, and defines Kölsch as having to be brewed within 31 miles of Cologne. Create your own Kölsch tour by hopping around the 13 breweries in town that produce it, most famously Gaffel and Reissdorf.
