Any beer festivals in Koln?

Just back from a visit and they had an outdoor beer garden in the park
at Rathenau Platz. They served beer from the nearby brewery at Roonstr.

Sure. When? There was one at the end of July, the Kölner Bier-Börse.
Good fun, decent variety of beer, many of which also showed up the
following weekend at the big International Bierfestival in Berlin.

There's an indoor "Oktoberfest" at the Kölnarena on 22nd October. Not
really much of a beer festival though; it looks like Löwenbräu's
"Oktoberfestbier" will be the only one on offer.

That would be the Heller brewpub.
