Master brewer & beer sommelier
Master brewer & beer sommelier
“He already discovered a passion for the art brewing early on. In 1986, Andree Vrana began his apprenticeship as a brewer and maltster in the “Brauerei zur Malzmühle”. Now he is a master brewer and manager of this traditional craft business in the heart of Cologne’s old town. From the very start, Cologne native, Andree, was hugely enthusiastic about beer that was hand-crafted. Hence it is no wonder that in 2007 he became Cologne’s first beer sommelier and regularly creates new seasonal craft beer for the Malzmühle (malt mill) at the Heumarkt.
