Known for Kölsch

Family brewery in Cologne's Friesenviertel, founded in 1883 by Hermann Päffgen, who took over an older brewhouse in the Sternengasse and moved to Friesenstraße a year later. The family now runs it in the fourth generation. Päffgen brews a single beer, its Kölsch, in the Klapperhof and serves it at the brewhouse opposite, only from the keg. There is no bottled version; beyond the brewhouse it is poured in a small, hand-picked group of Cologne taverns. The brewery signed the Kölsch Konvention.
