Just a couple of days after getting back from South America, I was back on the road again. Quite literally, as Mikey was driving us there.
Don't worry this isn't going to be a detailed report. More a photo essay.
Quite a lot of Altbier was drunk, especially by me.. Starting with a bottle of Füchschen.
Then visited a new Brauereiausschank:
A nice, traditional type pub. But, sadly, only selling keg.
Guess where was on our way into town?
No keg here, mind.
Important to have some ballast:
Random pub.
It was fairly busy:
There's even Alt in my hotel room.
Another brewery for lunch:
Time for a light lunch.
Cocktail time.
Another pub.
Another Alt.
Yet more Alt.
A very light supper.
Followed by a new Alt. First time trying Kürzer for me.
Lazy Sunday afternoon.
More noodles.
The one brewery we didn't drink in.
I couldn't miss Zum Uerige, though.
Still as bitter as ever, Uerige Alt.
Cocktail time again.
Big Schlüssel.
As you can see, a trip full of culture and learning.

I've been to Düsseldorf numerous times, although not for a few years now. As well as visiting all the Altstadt brewpubs, I once made it out to the Frankenheim brewery tap just north of the city centre which I quite liked, and is the only time I've drunk that beer on draught rather than from a bottle (it seemed back then to be the standard Alt sold by bars at the airport, railway stations and other public places).
I was glad to see those cocktail photos, because based on your South America posts I was pretty sure you hated beer now.
Pork knuckle for lunch, you lucky sob
Surprised to see see you having a bottle of Füchschen Alt at a pub rather than draught.
Dunphys had Füchschen Alt on and gave Stephen 400ml glases which he couldn’t use due to beer measures of the ROI.
