5-metre diving platform


Explanation:
"Sprungturm" would make the most sense to me, but since you haven't been given any context it's hard to tell of course.

Kölsch five-beer stack


Explanation:
Without more context, my guess is as wild as any of the others. There is a '3er Turm' and a '5er Turm' of Kölsch Beer available in some Cologne pubs. It's a stack indeed (as Colin was guessing), and even if this was not about Kölsch, as long as the subject matter is really advertising/marketing, it will indeed be a stack of some sort.

I'm afraid I haven't the slightest clue what such beer stack looks like.

But I don't understand why you assume the other handful of words would not provide some sort of context - even if it's not full sentences we're dealing with here, there might at least be some clue hiding in there!?

Well, I suppose my answer is probably too late anyway...
