Message jorge76 beers 24 º places 452 º 06:33 Sun 3/8/2015 Just came back from there .. Both cities are nice and worth a visit but if we talk about beer dussendorf win by far in my opinion .. I found the 2 top kolsch in town , Paffgen kolsch and Braustelle Helios , good enough and I could drink them all day long but not deserving to travel for ... Instead the top Alt are really really 3 high class beers , Schumacher alt and 1838er and Uerige alt , .. They have nice place where to drink and I did some reviews for describe them but having been there twice the feeling I have now is " I would come back to dussendorf anytime , not sure about cologne " .. To be fair with Cologne beer scene a good plus come from Braustelle which makes different styles for change a bit from some bland kolsch ( muhlen , sion , sunner , Peters )
Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 06:53 Sun 3/8/2015 More Kolsch ticks in Koln that Altbier ticks in Dusseldorf though!
Message digita7693 beers 1 º places 7 º 07:50 Sun 3/8/2015 Did you miss out on Mühlen kolsch? I would argue it is the best there is.

Just the amazing cathedral would worth a visit itself .. But still prefer dussendorf because is easier to walk around and the konig allee is very elegant street ..

Instead the top Alt are really really 3 high class beers , Schumacher alt and 1838er and Uerige alt Agreed with your assessment of the Düsseldorf Altbiers. Those are my three favorites as well. As far as Köln goes, I agree as well except I am with Don with Mühlen being amongst the top beers there. Too bad I did know there was a RB visitor in town - I would have happily met up. Cheers!

Message GodOfThunder P beers 1364 º places 65 º 15:07 Sun 3/8/2015 Uerige will always be one of my top brew stops. I could have stayed there sipping Alt for hours.
