Last week, I introduced the favorite drink of those in Koln -- Kolsch. And as this shot shows, it was also the favorite drink of those of us studying during my semester abroad in that city 20 years ago. Of course, the studying happened during the day or maybe in the early evening (or possibly the morning after on the ride into town on the Ubahn) -- but this was clearly the nighttime activity. On the table, amidst the glasses, you can see the 'deckels', the cardboard coasters that we collected around town for the over two dozen different brands of Kolsch. It was like an alcohol treasure hunt, and for this 18 year old (oh yeah, I was a young'un in college), it was quite an enjoyable experience! Every night had the potential to be Oktoberfest!!
