Kölsch service · with Heroes Beer Co.

Authentic Kölsch Service & Board Games

Heroes Beer Co. brings its traditional Kölsch service to Second Draft. Kölsch is poured into slender 200ml Stange glasses and carried to your table on a Kranz tray — and the refills keep flowing as long as your coaster stays under your glass. Pop the coaster on top when you're done. Settle in with a stack of board games and let the Kölsch flow till you say stop.
