Steamworks Brewery | Colorado Kölsch

The Colorado Kölsch is a derivative of German Kölschs, which were created in response to the popular lager-based Pilsners being produced in the Czech Republic in the 1840s. For those of you who haven’t studied your beer history, that means it’s a light crisp ale with a hint of sweetness. And very refreshing.

COLORADO KöLSCH STATS

Alcohol by Volume - 4.5%

International Bitterness Units - 17

Standard Reference Method - 3.2

AVAILABILITY

Once only a late spring release, we are now offering this refreshment year- round in 22 ounce bomber bottles and on draft.

FOOD MATCHING

A delicate and crisp beer, Colorado Kölsch pairs well with citrus and seafood like tilapia or halibut. Mild cheese such as Mozzarella and Provolone would be a nice counterpoint to the wheat malt used in the grain bill.
