When the carnival opens in Cologne at the beginning of March, revellers will be able to enjoy their drinks without the risk of injury from broken bottles.
Bottles were banned by the city council after last year’s event, but drinks will be available in cans from specially adapted trailers. Called Das Dosen-Mobil and storing 1,500 cans in six refrigerators, they offer beers such as Kölsch and mixers like as Karlsberg Mixery and Canco Cocktails.
