About This Beer
Früh Kölsch PerfectDraft Keg embodies centuries of Cologne brewing tradition. Kölsch is a protected regional beer style known for its hybrid character — brewed like an ale but conditioned like a lager, giving it both complexity and crispness. Früh’s recipe, first brewed in 1904, delivers gentle fruit tones and a subtle hop bitterness that make it one of the most celebrated beers from the region.
The PerfectDraft system preserves every note of freshness, carbonation, and delicate malt sweetness, ensuring a draught-quality experience at home. Light in alcohol yet full in flavour, this German favourite is a perfect introduction to classic continental brewing and a staple choice for lager fans seeking something refined.
