## About

Die Geschichte der Schreckenskammer reicht bis ins Jahr 1442 zurück. Der Legende nach wurde es den Gefangenen auf dem Weg zu Ihrer Richtstelle im Brauhaus zur Henkersmahlzeit gereicht und trägt seither diesen Namen. Ein kräftiges, vollmundiges, hochvergorenes, schrecklich leckeres Kölsch – nach eigenem Rezept mit 5% Volumengehalt gebraut. Das Brauhaus zur Schreckenskammer wird von der Familie Wirtz in 4. Generation seit 1934 privat und persönlich geführt.

Brauerei- und Distributionspartner: Cölner Hofbräu P. Josef Früh KG
