Em Altertümche - Reservar una mesa

We lead our little city tour – my buddy and I – through the new city North from the Agnes district. At first we passed the Balthasarstraße past the Kasparstraße past “Metzger Marie” a restaurant with German and Austrian cuisine. I lived there once a year. Then we moved to Krefelder Straße. There we stopped at the Catholic church of St. Gertrud. The decline of the popular churches is accompanied by the disappearance of the popular parties. There are fewer and fewer priests and therefore the churches are becoming bigger and bigger. Here are four churches of a municipality: St. Agnes, the second largest church in Cologne, St. Kunibert and St. Ursula, two great Romanesque churches in the rank of a Basilica minor and the small church of St. Gertrud. Built by Gottfried Böhm. This modern construction was completely abandoned during the assembly as parish church; for it has become a place of “church and culture”. So it is quite clear that there are no benches or furniture except altar and baptism. Loud speaking or singing leads to a mixture of sound and hall that creates quite amazing sound experiences. But it also shows that few people in this newly formed urban area are looking for worship services: fairs hardly take place, the churches are more museums. But no wonder in the behaviour of church leaders. In addition to the church there are also “Tempel” of food culture on Krefelder Straße. At first we passed the “construction site” by the new Eric Werner-Location. It should be called “astrein” and opened in August 2019. I'm expecting something from this former star cook, how is he supposed to say? Just a few meters away is the highly decorated restaurant in the city: “Le Moissonnier”. But we bend over the Maybachstraße to the Ritterstraße to the inn “Em Altertümche”. Ambiente The beer and dining house is really still a relic from the time of the corner pubs. There's another bowling alley. Outside the house there are some free spaces. Inside there is a hall for 50 guests family celebrations etc. and only the “normal” guest room. The setup is simple. There are furniture in many corners. It looked disturbed for me, but it certainly makes sense for the guest. In the front area all tables were reserved and then came a large group of ladies at the best age who made a safe journey and now consumed their “night meal”. Cleanliness Everything was tied up. The toilets were unfortunately back in the basement. Service The host and the young ladies were friendly and supplied us with carols – even if we did not order large dishes. The map n There is a day map with reasonable prices and an evening map with bourgeois cuisine. The tasting We only ordered “Halver Hahn” € 4.50 for the little hunger. The plate was made classic: a thick slice of medium Gouda, a half rake, butter, onion rings, a few fresh salad leaves and a bag of mustard from Düsseldorf! Beverages Here are the herbs Gaffel Kölsch at a price of € 1.60 for the normal bar in the Gaffel am Dom, the same drink already costs € 1.80 You have to occasionally take time to go to such magnificent old pubs. It's fun in a social round. 1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – when it comes back, 4 – again happy, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” My list Kölscher Kneipen prioritizes the ambience, less the beer: 1. Schreckenskammer bei St. Ursula Schreckenskammer Kölsch – early brewed 2. Sünner im Walfisch Sünner Kölsch Kalk 3. Päffgen Friesenplatz Päffgen Kölsch 4. Malzmühle Heumarkt Mühlen Kölsch 5. Bierhaus am Rhein Delfter Brauhaus Pütz Mills Kölsch 12. Brauhaus Stüsser Agnes district – Sion Kölsch – part of the house Kölscher Brautradition – brewed in Gilden in Mülheim, now beginning 13. Em Altertümche Hansaring Gaffel Kölsch 14.Gilden im Zims Gilden Kölsch – part of the House Kölscher Brautradition – brewed in Gilden in Mülheim, now beginning of the 15th century Sion Brauhaus Altstadt – Sion Kölsch – part of the house Kölscher Brautradition – brewed in Gilden in Mülheim, now in the early 16th Hemarkt Pfaffen Bierhaus en d ́r Salzgass Päffgen Kölsch 17. Gaffel am Dom Gaffel Kölsch – Local huge and loud 19. Early at the Dom Früh Kölsch – Local huge but completely angled and unclear Kölsch It is only about crumbs that were freshly tapped from a barrel in the restaurant – best without pipes and carbonic acid. So non-filled goods. But I have to say that I prefer to drink the brands that are a bit rich. Kölsch is a bright, slightly bitter beer. It should have a clear hop note and not have too much malt taste. 1. Gaffel Since it has for me most herb varieties and works harmoniously, I try again and again. It used to be brewed at the Eigelstein, now in Porz. In the glass is a beautiful foam that also holds a little crispy freshly drunk and offered in 0.2 l – the bar glazed. There is no creamy foam crown necessary. In the Antrunk I even find light sweetness, but then the hearty note prevails. The finish is not long, the sounds of fine bitterness remain. 2. Sünner Also Sünner has herb and structure and is for me my “beginner” in taste. I rarely tried at Eion's restaurant where it's okay. A corresponding foam is formed in the glass, which also remains short. The first sip shows herb varieties directly. There are fresh tones in the nose. The finish shows a balanced hop taste. Sweet is little in the game. 3. Shock chamber I'm sure it's not scratch, but it tastes me. It was never brewed after World War II. Wages change, but the family recipe remained. At first it was brewed at Giesler in Brühl. Then it came to Dom and Zunft and now even early. It has a little more alcohol than usual and gets no regrowth to obtain more carbonic acid. The color is golden yellow, fresh smell, slightly sweet at the beginning, later slightly bitter, foam quickly collapses, short: round and accessible. 4. Päffgen Päffgen is a very solid beer. It's just in the barrel. The family was still in the trunk house in Friesenstraße. They say that their beer doesn't always taste the same, but always good. The glasses have no advertising print. They are simple clear bars. The foam is medium. The aroma is slightly spicy. An aromatic crumb, quite mild, but not sweet and simply sweet. Also the inns that have passports in the sink are recommended by the bank. 5. Sion Hans Sion is considered the father of the post-war mixture. At this time, the small breweries in Cologne were almost all destroyed by bombs and the large Pils and export producers were able to conquer the market in Cologne. Sion realized that the mercenaries had to stop with their own beer to keep in business. And it worked out: Kölsch became again the number one in the Cologne Bonner Raum. Even Sion didn't break. Today the brand belongs even to the large Radeberger group Oetker . In the glass is beautiful foam, which also lasts a little longer, fresh smell, pleasant bitter, hardly sweet, moderate. 6. Mills The beer from the malt mill is certainly also anything but herbs. But it is harmonious in itself and therefore tastes me. I like the little brewhouse on the hay market. There's foam in the glass, but it doesn't take long. The smell is fresh, the taste picant without many bitter notes, the light sweetness is well integrated; during a visit I noticed acidic accents that seemed unharmonic; the next visit tasted the beer again pleasant. 7. Peters Originally from Monheim. For traditional reasons, they were also allowed to call Kölsch after the Kölsch Convention. The “Haus Kölscher Brautradition” is now part of the Radeberger Group, which in turn belongs to the Oetker Group. The beer is brewed in Cologne Mülheim near Gilden such as Sion, Sester, Peters, Dom, Küppers etc. In my nose I notice fresh notes. The first swallow was pleasant, but without special touch. I had no character. But overall, the Kölsch was beaten with distant herbal sounds. 8. Debt securities The beer has always been brewed in Mülheim. Today next to Sion it is the premium brand from the Kölscher brew tradition. In the glass was clear foam, but it goes fast. The first swallow was weighed in herbs and sweet. But the flavors are very reserved. 9. Reissdorf Reissdorf is the market leader in Cologne. In downtown there are fewer restaurants, but in the Severinsviertel they are home. In the glass was fresh, fine foam that quickly degraded. The smell is fresh, but also rather inconspicuous. No special sweetness or hearty tones. It's a bit boring, but it's pretty bad. 10. Dom Dom Kölsch was very skillful in marketing for a long time. In Germany, abroad and in high-end gastronomy it was often a dome. But I never cost it. The label colour was green. Since the takeover by the House of Kölscher Brautradition one changed into “red” perhaps it should remember early. I don't know if the recipe was changed, but it tasted better when visiting the brewhouse than before. In the mouth there are no special notes of something sweet and hearty notes; in the end there are some strange, unknown hops. This light self-will makes it less sinful than before or Reissdorf, for example. 11. Schmitz Kölsch The local scene chose its own beer. It's brewed with sinners. Of course it has its own recipe. But it didn't convince me. The bitter notes are weaker than the sinner. 12. Early in the morning and Gaffel in Cologne are somewhat equal and thus form space two and three in the amount during the ejection. Gaffel is my number one, and in the morning I only taste if I have a lot of thirst and have not yet tried any other grain. In the glass is foam that quickly disintegrates. The Antrunk shows neither sweet nor hearty accents. Other swallows show no depth but nothing disturbing. In the finish I find hardly any recurrences of Kölsch notes. The taste is quickly gone – what remains? Nothing. So another glass? Pfaffen Früher the brothers Päffgen in their restaurants sold only Päffgen Kölsch first only three houses: Friesenstraße, Heumarkt and Lommerzheim in Deutz . But there were disputes Max announced the contract and his son broke his own beer in Lohmar. It shouldn't be mercenary. Even about the name there were discussions. After all, it was called Original Pfaffen Bier. In response, the brother founded a slender Kölsch beer house en d ́r Salzgass next to the house. It is excellent and bright, but it tastes kind of sour. In the first swallows I find slightly herbal and spicy notes, also some sweetness. But then the sour sounds disturb me more than the joy of the other flavors. Date of visit: 31.05.2019 – eve My pleasant experiences are also at [here link]

Found this place right next to our hotel, lovely traditional pub, the food was simple but fantastic, I had the schnitzel which was freshly made to order. The beer was the cheapest we found all weekend, around €3-4 for a franziskaner wheat beer. Great find would definitely recommend and return to if in Cologne again.

It is the typical corner pub where you stand on the Thresen and for the evening a few beers with its neighbors are admitted. The food is quite simple but plentiful at home cooking. The location is also favorable if you are exhausted from shopping in Saturn and need a resurrection before you go home.
