What to Expect on a Brewery Tour

On a brewery tour and alt beer tasting in Dusseldorf, you’ll get to visit two of the city’s leading breweries. The tour starts with an authentic tour of one of the brewery facilities, where you can learn more about the brewing process, equipment, and ingredients used for its famous special brews.

Exploring the Breweries and Beer Gardens in Düsseldorf

The tour is not just about beer tasting. It also allows you to explore some of Düsseldorf’s oldest and most beloved breweries, beer gardens, and pubs.

The Konigsbrau brewery is where you’ll meet your guide and attend your beer tasting session. Founded in 1867, Konigsbrau is one of the oldest and most popular pubs in Dusseldorf. Located in the old town near Burgershofstrasse, this pub offers a cozy atmosphere where locals and tourists alike gather over good conversation and pints of local alt beer.

Fritz’s Altbier Palace, located at Altstadtstr. 8, is another good stop when on the brewery tour. This traditional pub has been serving delicious drafts since 1836, making it one of the oldest beer gardens in Düsseldorf. Inside you’ll find several activity boards with rules for popular games that have been around for centuries across Europe including darts, shuffleboard, and ball balance game.

Discover The World of Alt Beer

Altbier is one of Düsseldorf’s most iconic beers and a visit to the city wouldn’t be complete without trying it. This type of beer is made through a traditional lagered beer process which uses top-fermenting yeast, similar to that used in British ales.

It has an intense flavor that packs a punch with its aromatic hops aroma balanced by its malty undertones. What sets altbier apart from other beer styles is its dark amber color and its ability to carry high alcohol contents without compromising on flavor or body.

During your brewery tour and alt beer tasting session, you’ll get to sample some of the finest alt beers brewed in Düsseldorf, as well as some specialty brews like wheat beer or pilsner. You might even be given the chance to tour one of the breweries and witness firsthand how they brew their signature beers.

Make It an Adventure

A brewery tour with alt beer tastings is not just an experience for seasoned drinkers, but also an educational journey for those who want to explore and learn more about Dusseldorf’s traditional brewing culture.

It provides an entertaining adventure for all ages, thanks to exploration and sampling opportunities like visiting one of Dusseldorf’s oldest breweries, hearing about its age-old brewing methods from an expert presenter, enjoying some local delicacies in traditional pub settings, taking part in local activities (such as darts) at Fritz’s Altbier Palace, and of course, tasting some of the city’s finest alt beers.
