Carnival and Kölsch

The Germans associate Cologne with a fun carnival. In the days of the holiday, the Middle Ages seem to come to life: in fancy dress a la the Middle Ages, cheerful processions, games and fun in the old spirit take place on the wide streets of the city. The roots of the carnival go back to the distant past of the city, as well as the recipe for traditional Cologne beer, brewed by local brewers for centuries. It’s not complete without Cologne beer.

Not a single city festival, not a single fair, nor even a carnival, can do without Cologne beer. Only any ignorant tourist will be surprised when he is offered to "drink his tongue." What will draw his imagination if he hears such a sentence? Although everything is not so dramatic: “language” is Cologne beer, “Kölsch” is local.
