Hamburg is also full of Fritz Kola. As this article[1] claims, Fritz Kola is the third largest cola brand in Germany. And it is exported in over 20 countries. They also search for bottling plants in Spain to produce drinks over there.

It's quite common in bars all over the Netherlands in my experience.

I used to see it in Irma in Denmark.

One of the Colas that tastes good enough to replace Coke in my experience.

I've seen it for sale in at least a couple of bars in Copenhagen.

A bar owner I know here says selling these more-premium sodas is a good way to make a bit of extra money on people who aren't buying alcohol — you can charge more for Fritz-Kola than for Coca-Cola.

A different bar owner I know chose Jolly Cola, avoiding an American product but keeping a low price.

I've seen a lot of Fritz-Kola in the St Pauli area of Hamburg. I prefer it to coke too.

Fritz Cola is the western Germany equivalent. The company is from Hamburg.
