Mühlen-Kölsch changes to Gaffel: A bang for Cologne!
Ehrenfeld, Deutschland - A bang in the Cologne brewing world: Mühlen-Kölsch, a traditional brand of the brewery to the malt mill, changes to the competition Gaffel. This step was announced on June 2, 2025 by the brewery employees. Heinrich Philipp Becker, managing partner of Gaffel, is enthusiastic about this new partnership and sees Mühlen-Kölsch as one of the popular brands in the Kölschmarkt. The decision to make the brewery fit for the Malzmühle for gastronomy means that it would like to concentrate on this area in the future.
The family brewery to the Malzmühle, which was founded in 1858, has established itself as a reliable provider of Kölsch over the years. Her well-known brewery on Heumarkt, which was even visited by US President Bill Clinton in 1999, is a central point of contact for everyone who wants to experience Cologne beer culture up close. Gaffel, which is now becoming the sales partner of Mühlen-Kölsch, plans to inform his workforce the following day about this change process.
Kölsch: A cultural asset with tradition
Kölsch is a top -fermented beer that has been brewed on the Rhine since 874 and has an alcohol content of around 4.8 percent. It is traditionally served in slim 0.2-liter glasses, the so-called "poles". The brewing process takes place under special conditions that contribute to the unique quality of the beer. Beer brewed in Cologne can only call itself "Kölsch", as the Kölsch Convention from 1986 says.
There are around 24 different types of Cologne in the city, including well-known brands such as early, Gaffel and also mills. It is particularly noteworthy that the Cologne residents often select their favorite pubs according to the pondered Kölsch variety. Another important aspect is the EU seal "protected geographical statement", which documents the close connection between Kölsch and its area of origin. In general, no old is ordered in Cologne brewery, as this is considered unusual.Cultural meeting facilities: Gaffel Haus in Berlin
While the soft sets in Cologne, the Gaffel brand also shines beyond the city limits, as the Gaffel Haus in Berlin proves. This brewery restaurant is centrally located between the television tower and the Reichstag and is only a few steps from sights such as the Brandenburg Gate and the Museum Island. Here guests enjoy traditional, crafted German cuisine, which comes fresh on the plate every day.
The Gaffel Haus in Berlin offers space for up to 240 people indoors and a covered beer garden terrace for around 60 guests. This makes it a popular place to taste both local and international specialties. And so the Berlin Gaffel Haus is ideal in the traditional Cologne brewing culture, while Mühlen-Kölsch is now going on new tracks.
The decision by Mühlen-Kölsch to take the step towards the competition once again shows how dynamic and alive the Cologne beer landscape is. The partnership with Gaffel could not only be fertile for both companies, but also for the lovers of Kölsch, who can benefit from even more diversity.
