Following on from the roaring success of our first Nico Night in October 2021, we're doing it all again on Friday 21st October 2022. Round up your mates, book a table, and join us for a night of Nico Kölsch stanges, German food snacks, and Nico from the wood for a proper Cologne-inspired night out.

If you've ever been to Cologne, you'll have noticed that their drinking culture is wildly different to ours, instead of going up to the bar to order, the waiters (called Köbes) will bring over trays laden with tall thin glasses (called stanges), containing 200ml of freshly poured Kölsch.

When the beers have been served, the Köbe will mark your beer mat (pictured below) to keep track of how many you've had. When your beer is nearly empty the köbe will bring another stange, and another, until you place a beer mat on top of your glass, signalling you've had your fill.

We're going to replicate the Cologne/Kölsch experience at Orbit Beers Taproom, pouring our freshest batch of Nico on the night. At around 7pm we'll also be tapping a special batch of Nico, which we'll dispense straight from a barrel on the bar. So, get a bunch of friends together and come on down to our taproom for something a bit different!

We recommend trying to attend as a group for the best experience, smaller groups may need to sit with other people. We will be printing out a handy guide on the night explaining how everything works just in case you forget or anyone wants to join in on the fun.
