Kölsch is not only a unique beer, but it is the only one that has its own convention. The ‘Kölsch-Convention’, solemnly adopted by the 24 Kölsch breweries, regulates all market developments that have to do with Kölsch. It constitutes a code of competition having the accreditation of the Federal Cartel Office. These prohibit outsiders to produce or falsify Kölsch.
By the way, the Kölsch-Convention also states how Kölsch is to be defined, a blond, top-fermented, bright and hops-accentuated full-bodied beer.
