0221 Bierlikör

The basis of 0221 Bierlikör (beer liqueur) is Kölsch (beer made in Cologne). We first let this mature for several months in oak barrels. The Kölsch absorbs the wood notes of the barrel and is refined in taste by the storage. For the final liqueur, the barrel-aged beer is distilled and refined into the liqueur. For refinement we use honey, which gives the beer liqueur its delicate golden color in addition to rounding off its taste.

In the vernacular, Cologne is also affectionately known as the northernmost city in Italy. What is La Dolce Vita and Limoncello there, becomes La Kölsche Vita and 0221 in Cologne.
