Message FatPhil P beers 26061 º places 995 º 10:08 Thu 12/10/2015 My g/f and I will be in Dortmund for work (+ xmas party) on 17th (so until the early hours of the morning of the 18th). We’re flying back from Dusseldorf on 20th, in the evening. Between those two endpoints, we’d like to get some local fresh (from the wood preferably) Koelsches and Alts, but really have no plans how much we should spend in each of the 3 places. Recommendations or advice? We’ll be flying over with mostly empty bags as we intend to fly back with plenty of bottles, so if anyone wants to meet up for a beer, we can easily bring some Estonian stuff with us to share.

Message digita7693 beers 1 º places 7 º 11:18 Thu 12/10/2015 Of this month I take it? Ill probably just miss you as that is when I am flying to the states for a week. in Cologne I would go to Neumarkt and hit Malz Mühle, best Kölsch imo, then Päffgen about 200m away, my personal 2nd favorite, and right next door you have Pfaffen which is solid. Nearby you also have Peter’s Kölsch which is also solid. Then you could head to Braustelle in Ehrenfeld and try their beers and some Freigeist beers. in Düsseldorf you definitely have to hit Uerige, and nearby Füchschen is excellent, but my personal favorite is Schumacher and the slightly hoppy 1838 Alt. enjoy!
Message bartlebier beers 4526 º places 177 º 11:23 Thu 12/10/2015 Solid advice, especially the Schumacher 1838. are they still brewing it with Mosaic? Have restoration works at Päffgen aka Pfaffen/Heumarkt finally come to an end? Was stood up there twice in the past year when changing trains and thinking of getting a quick Kölsch.

Message Koelschtrinker beers 28835 º places 22 º 15:25 Thu 12/10/2015 Too bad I’ll visit friends that weekend and won’t be in cologne. Would have been a pleasure to show you around
Message digita7693 beers 1 º places 7 º 16:56 Thu 12/10/2015 yes, Heumarkt not Neumarkt
Message FatPhil P beers 26061 º places 995 º 09:05 Fri 12/11/2015 Dang, looks like Braustelle’s a bit of a way out of town. I guess that can be a taxi ride. How much should I expect to pay for such a trip?

How much should I expect to pay for such a trip? It is just on the other side of town. Super easy to get to that side of town from the center in about 15-20mins via tram, will cost you about 2.5€, taxi will probably be around 25€.
Message pivnizub beers 12929 º places 633 º 16:33 Fri 12/11/2015 Forget Braustelle… Off the beaten tracks, boring and sour beers… Try to get the traditional Düsseldorf stuff at the source (Schumacher, Uerige) and be sure to enjoy a moreish Päffgen at Lommerzheim (unique pub!!!) or at the brewery-tap Friesenstrasse…!!!

Well, at least it’s possible to drink Kölsch (or Wiess) and Alt at the Braustelle!
