Hausbrauerei Zum Schlüssel
Zum Wohl. Zum Schlüssel!
Behind the city gate
Hausbrauerei Zum Schlüssel represents a living chapter in the history of Düsseldorf’s old town. Ever since 1632, when tradition has it that the keys to Düsseldorf’s city gates were kept in neighbouring inns, our existence has been closely intertwined with the city’s history.
A new era began in 1850 when today’s brewery building was purchased by a young baker who started to work with yeast and produced beer, also known as ‘liquid bread’ back then.
Since then, we have been the first port of call for Düsseldorfers and travellers alike, a place of warmth and cultural exchange. Here, where the Schlüssel once guarded the city, it now brings our guests closer to an authentic piece of the Düsseldorf way of life.
A love for the art of brewing: our philosophy
At Hausbrauerei Zum Schlüssel, we combine traditional brewing craftsmanship with enthusiasm for our Düsseldorf Altbier. Since 1850, we have been a place of community and the scene of countless anecdotes, where our guests become the authors of their own Schlüssel moments. Our craft-brewed and multiple award-winning speciality Altbier with the distinctive key symbol has long been a loyal companion.
The key is our trademark and symbolises the key to enjoyment. Deeply rooted in the identity of our brewery, the key not only adorns our glasses and beer mats, it also represents our promise to offer excellent Altbier.
A love for the art of brewing: our philosophy
Originality
Moving away from monotony and standardisation – we brew Original Schlüssel by hand, never pasteurised, always traditional. We only use our award-winning Original Schlüssel yeast.
Local
Brewed in the heart of the old town, our Altbier reflects the local customs and tastes of Düsseldorf: a dark speciality beer with a strong body and balanced hop bitterness, with open fermentation typical of the region and local malting barley.
Our expertise
The keys to our quality are skill and care; Original Schlüssel is carefully tested by beer sommeliers Baas Karl-Heinz Gatzweiler and master brewer Dirk Rouenhoff before it is released for consumption. And we’re not the only ones who love the taste – as confirmed by our two awards for best Altbier at the European Beer Star.
My colleagues and I make sure you don’t go thirsty!
