  • On every second Sunday of a month, in summer, you should go to the Fish Market in the harbour area. You can have a late breakfast or second breakfast or lunch or afternoon snack - or all of these, because there are so many tasty things to eat. Fish sandwhiches and hot fish meals, pancakes, bread, fruit, cocktails.... and of course Altbier.
    You can buy flowers and pasta and decorations and lots of other nice and useless things ;-)

    This is the Alt Bier made in the Frankenheim Brauereiausschank brewery. You can get it at the brewery restaurant but also in stores in the region. To many opinions, this is one of the best alt beers in the world.

    The answer is of course 'Alt Beer', the speciality of Dusseldorf.

    This fine brew can be sampled in may places, but one of the four brewpubs (or indeed all four) would be a good place to start.

    The sterotype (at least in the UK) of of beer being served in Germany is mainly derived from Munich, where lusty young Frauleins with enormous jugs (of Beer) serve battalions of men in smoke filled bier-kellars or in leafy gardens.

    Things are a bit different in Dusseldorf. Mainly male waiters in smart, almost miltary uniforms, dispense the beautiful nectar into small tall glasses rather than almighty steins. The beermat is then marked with a precise tick. At the end of you session of drinking, you simply present your beermat and recieve your bill !

    All wonderfully Germanic, but I can't see it catching on in Swansea or Doncaster....

    If you go to Düsseldorf you have to know that the city is the "Altbier"-area. Altbier is considered Germany's oldest beer style. It's a dark beer especially brewed in the area around Düsseldorf. Never ever order a Kölsch (from Cologne) in Düsseldorf - the waitress may beat you up ;-) - that could also happen if you order an Altbier in Cologne.
    Cologne and Düsseldorf have an old competition about the importance of the cities. Cologne is bigger and more famous in the world than Düsseldorf which is more poshy and the capital city of the county Northrhine-Westfalia. Probably this "battle" will never end. So never order an Altbier in Cologne or a Kölsch in Düsseldorf.

    Hunde Bar
    by martin_nl
    As said in the General Tip, Germans love their dogs and they take them everywhere, even when they go to the pub. In this pub, dogs aren't allowed, but since the pub does want to have customers they created this Hunde Bar. hile the dogs' owner is enjoying his Alt Bier the dog has his own bar. Not sure what runs from the tap....hmmmm...

    Schlöffel Alt Bier is one of the finest beers I have ever tasted. The good thing about German beers is that it is always so affordable. It is usually cheaper than coke or fanta, so the choice is easy.

    A lot of places only sell one type of beer, so they simply make marks on your mat for the number you buy. If they sell a soft drink (often apple juice) they mark it with an X instead.
