“I was so confused when I first came to Cologne that this seems to be standard practice. They are just very direcr even for German standards and ordering something to drink other than Kölsch will usually result in a comment. It’s the best brewery but the waiters can be dicks but that’s the charm I guess but not everyone sees it that way 😅”
