SUMMARY:Kölsch Service at Field Day Brewing
DESCRIPTION:Experience this unique German drinking tradition right here in North Liberty\, Iowa.\n\nKölsch service is a beer drinking and service style that is native to Cologne\, Germany. During a Kölsch service\, a patron orders a drink and it is promptly refilled at or before they finish. Each time a glass is dropped\, a notch is marked on the coaster. The drink is served in small glasses that take 2-3 drinks to finish. This keeps the beer cold and fresh and rids the hassle of flagging down a bartender between pours. To indicate you are finished\, place the coaster atop your glass. Your coaster serves as your ‘tab’ and you checkout with the bartender/server.\n\nCome enjoy this unique tradition with us and our freshest batch of Kölsch!
