Kölsch in Köln

Guess what?!?! I am in Köln (Cologne) for the weekend! Jan offered to meet me again and found me a train at a good time so how could I refuse another wonderful German city?

We went for dinner at a huge German brauhaus called Frueh and I had sauerbraten which is a very good marinated beef with potato dumplings that look like balls but are quite tasty especially with the gravy. It also came with a nice homemade applesauce and salad with dressing like grandma makes.

The beer is most special. It is served in 200 mL glasses and they keep bringing more until you tell them to stop. It is a very nice beer that is only made here. They make a mark on yur coaster for how many glasses you have had. See if you can count in this picture!! (There was one more after it was taken too!)
