Six packs of Steamworks' award-winning Colorado Kölsch available Aug. 1
 
As of Aug. 1, 2008, fans of Steamworks Brewing Co.'s Colorado Kölsch will be able to pick up 12-oz. bottle six-packs of the brew at retail establishments throughout Colorado.
 
A multi-award winning beer - including a Silver at the 2007 Great American Bear Festival, Steamworks' Colorado Kölsch is a derivative of the German Kölschs, which were created in response to the popular lager-based Pilsners being produced in the Czech Republic in the 1840s. Steamworks' variety is a light, refreshing and crisp ale with a hint of sweetness. Head brewer Ken Martin is lauded for perfecting the recipe and providing a consistently quality product.
