Do they serve Kölsch in Switzerland? Where are the photos of Swiss T&A? (Or cranks. Sin, KC Scrote)

Pretty much limited to Köln and the general area, I think.

You might find one for under $100.

Probably the best HD vid for the money, as well as ease of use.

Ease of use? So you can hold the camera in one hand and the child in the other? Die already, you fat, drunken pedophile.

Lake Zurich smells like milk. The Swiss are extraordinarily ugly. The town is beautiful. Plus, all that gold just yards underneath your feet.

No.

Schlafly Beer won the Gold Medal for Best German-style Kölsch in the World Beer Cup in 2010.

How so? I would think their looks would be very neutral.

Don't be so hard on Mikey, B.

I'm sure he meant to post that the Koelsch found in Switzerland was "limited to Köln and the general area."

And yes, I got the inference.

Lighten up, Francis. Just havin' a bit o' fun while jocking a pretty damn good American offering. Dork.

Then next time Köln is in Switzerland will be the first. But go on, keep kicking your own ass.

How about products from Köln? You think maybe they might be found in Swizterland?

But, yes, Truman sorta kicked his own ass and Mikey is sorta right. Kölsch is a protected designation like champagne and may only be brewed in or around Köln. The Schlafly product (more bode for St. Louis over KC, btw) is Kölsch style.

Oh and, for the record, Eichhof is a garden variety Munich helles lager not a Kölsch.

Yes, and Belgian IPAs are now being brewed in Belgium, you fucking poseur.

Will that somehow prevent them from tasting like rancid cat piss and then quietly abandoned once the brief fad is over?

No, I'm pretty sure the Köln auf Deutschland reference pretty well qualifies to be included in the "general area" near Der Schweiz and Zurich. Google maps is your friend, Sparky. But thanks for the encouragement. I'll be sure to get around to kicking my own ass after I'm done plungering yours.

OK. Now you have kicked your own ass...twice. Köln auf Deutschland means Köln in Germany. Last time I checked, Die Schweiz is not in Germany.

I don't know. You'd have to ask the BELGIAN brewers who are making it, you narrow-minded twat.

Just like pilsner beer is to Pilsen? And yes, dickhead, i KNOW Pilsen is in the Czech Repuplic. Tedious asshats...

Fail. American vintners bottle "sparkling wine." American brewers bottle "koelsch" at their whim. Reinheitsgebot polizei must be asleep at the switch. BTW, let me know the next time you see a winery label a product "American-style Champagne."

Schlafly "claims bode" on this style of beer only because Boulevard doesn't brew it. Nice brew. Might want to spirit a case-or-three back home next you come back to visit your kin in Potosi.

No. Pilsner is not a legally protected designation.

Take another look at the label on the bottle you posted, idiot.

Twice?! Bet you had to count B's balls to arrive at that number, dintcha?

Bullsear, mvscal, you nailed it. They haven't gotten around to moving Switzerland into Germany yet, despite Hitler's best efforts...

Der Schweiz is Switzerland, asshat. Mix in an atlas. Köln is about 250 miles from Zurich.

Why, that's almost the same distance from KC to St. Louis. Some folks might even qualify that distance as a fairly accurate descriptive of the "general area." Or maybe that's just a Flyover thing.

Nice except that auf Deutschland doesn't mean "in the general area of Germany." It means "within Germany."

OK, I will.

Nope, pretty sure the label doesn't read "An American Beer Brewed in the Same Way That They Do It in Köln, Because mvscal Says We Can't Use the Word Kölsch ."

Pretty sure the label reads "Kölsch Style." Lemme know if the umlauts defeat your pronunciation.

Stiil waiting on that "Champagne Style American Sparkling Wine' link, Homer....

Only a damned idiot would claim that KC and St. Louis are in the same "general area." That would be like saying that Rochester and Toronto are in the same "general area."

Anyway, you replied to Mikey's assertion that Kölsch was only served in Köln and the "general area" thereabouts by posting a picture of an American made Kölsch "style" ale. Regardless of whatever semantic bullshit you are trying to pull, I seriously doubt that Schlafly was the answer to Screwy's question.

No, auf means at, on, up, to, in, onto, and upon. Which has zero to do with my statement that Cologne is in Germany and its proximity to Zurich, Switzerland is within the general area. You moved the goalposts and still missed wide right, mvscal.

Oh, I dunno, B. Lotsa folks confuse Missouri with Kansas. Hell lotsa folks confuse Missouri, Kansas, and the whole damn Midwest as something called the Flyover. Why, it's all just one big "general area," as far as most folks are concerned. Don't believe me? Ask your neighbors. Even money sez they're gonna say, "same difference."

Well, there's that... Or maybe I was just lookin' for a bit of sport on a smack board. 'Preciate you participating, though, B. Are all the slow kids back East as quick as you?
