At our traditional brewery in Düsseldorf’s Altstadt (old town), you can experience Düsseldorf’s brewing and drinking culture in its most original form – with our Original Schlüssel beer, brewed on site and served fresh by a Köbes (traditional Rhineland waiter). We are the only brewery that still draws beer from traditional 100 litre wooden barrels.
Since 1850, we have been brewing beer using traditional brewing methods on the legendary Bolkerstraße – the heart and soul of the old town, and fondly known as the longest bar in the world. Our specialities, in particular the award-winning Altbier, are considered among the highlights of the Rhenish art of brewing. And this has been recognised by experts; Original Schlüssel has twice been awarded the gold medal for best Altbier at the European Beer Star.
At our brewery, our Köbes waiters serve hearty and honest dishes that perfectly match the taste of our Altbier.
