Tickets at bit.ly/kolschnightbrighton $30 per person, includes entry, Notch Stange, and a German sausage plate (vegan/vegetarian option available). Beer is additional. Interested in how the night works?

Keeping with tradition, this event will utilize a waitstaff, or as they’re referred to in the Brauhauses of Cologne, “Köbes.”

You never order a thing; it simply comes to you. Notch staff will come by with trays of Kölsch in stangen; each time you get one, a notch goes on your coaster. Repeat as desired. A German sausage plate will arrive after your first few beers (there will also be a vegan/vegetarian option). At the end of the night, the notches are added up, and you will be presented with your tab for beer.

Easy.

For the first two hours, Kölsch will be the only beer offered and served in the traditional tall cylindrical 0.2-liter glass called a “stange” (You get to take one home when you’ve had your fill).
