Was at the bar at the Zion Kolsch brewery in the old town once. They ran out of beer, opened a trap door, winched the empty keg down (probably held like 50 gallons), hauled another one up and when the big, brass tap was driven in, it sprayed Kolsch all over, much to the cheers of the crowd.

They serve Kolsch in those tall glasses and the custom is, if you put the glass down empty, they fill it up again or bring you a new one. You have to put the coaster on top to signal you are done. And it's much stronger than it looks, some approaching 6-7% alcohol. It's actually an ale, and the native dialect sounds very close to Dutch.
