Crystal clear beer: Over 100 years of brewing tradition in Cologne

Beer culture has a long tradition in Cologne, as has the privately owned brewery “Früh”, which was established in 1904 by Peter Josef Früh. He opened his brewhouse “Cölner Hofbräu P. Josef Früh” near Cologne’s cathedral and it soon attracted customers from the city and surrounding area. Due to its good taste, “Früh Kölsch” firmly established itself on Cologne’s beer market. An important part of the brewery’s quality control is turbidity measurement, which ensures that Früh Kölsch beer reaches customers as clear as required by the Kölsch Konvention. Alexander Rolff and Philipp Müller, the fifth generation to lead the traditional family firm, count on measuring technology from Anton Paar in Graz, Austria, to ensure their beer’s quality.
