Thrillist Presents: 15 Of The World's Oldest Bars

Brauhaus Sion - est. 1318

Cologne, Germany: This place’s specialty is their Kölsch beer, which, much like champagne, is a local delicacy that must be brewed exclusively in and around Cologne to be called a Kölsch. Fun fact: The only thing that ever got between this brewery’s golden nectar and a thirsty German was WWII -- in 1942 it was totally destroyed, and couldn’t be rebuilt until 1951. [Photo via]
