In Cologne, Kölsch is traditionally served in a tall, thin, cylindrical 200-millilitre (6.8 US fl oz) glass called a Stange (“pole” or “rod”). The server, called a Köbes, carries eleven or twelve Stangen in a Kranz (“wreath”), a circular tray resembling a crown or wreath.[10] Instead of waiting for the drinker to order a refill, the Köbes immediately replaces an empty Stange with a full one, marking a tick on the coaster under the Stange. If the drinker does not want another refill, they place the coaster on top of the empty Stange and pay for the number of beers marked on the coaster.[11]
It’s a local beer called Kölsch.
Thanks! It seems it’s not really intended to drink one, it doesn’t seem fair to use it for the comparison!
