The latest release from Orbit Beers' barrel-aged Digger's Series. Cuvée de Cologne is a brewer’s choice blend of complex, oak barrel-aged Nico. This limited release is an annual treat among Orbit drinkers! 

From the 2025 blend of Cuvée de Cologne, you can expect aromas of toasted hay, oaky vanilla, and a subtle funk of lemon sherbet and pineapple. Smooth bready malt flavours with restrained bitterness, delicate acidity, and a spritzy, champagne-like dry finish.

Every year Orbit Brewers barrel-age a small portion of Nico Köln Lager in a solera system, leaving it to ferment with specially selected strains of Brettanomyces. 

When they fill the barrels with freshly fermented Nico, they do so on top of a small portion of barrel-aged Nico left behind from the previous year’s Cuvée de Cologne. This annual process allows the Cuvée de Cologne to change and develop year on year, whilst retaining links to Nico – the base beer, and previous releases of Cuvée de Cologne.

    “It’s always great when a beer like Orbit Beer’s Nico Köln Lager comes in front of our tasting panel and everyone shares my delight. It’s bang-on style, with noble hops providing delicious grassy, herbal and spicy notes.”
