Mühlen Kölsch goes back to 1858, when Hubert Koch opened a steam brewery for beer and malt extract on Cologne's Heumarkt, close to the site of the city's old council malt mill. In 1912 his nephew Gottfried Joseph Schwartz took over, and his family ran the house as the Brauerei zur Malzmühle for five generations, rebuilding it after it was destroyed in 1945. The beer follows the Kölsch Convention and, according to the brand, is still brewed in copper kettles. Since September 2025 the brand rights, production and distribution belong to Privatbrauerei Gaffel.
