Brauerei Ferdinand Schumacher

Brauerei Ferdinand Schumacher is home to the oldest Altbier in Dusseldorf, the Schumacher Alt; it’s been brewed according to family tradition for more than 175 years. The special malt mixture is what creates the signature amber color and fine bitterness of the Altbier—what locals call the best beer in the world, and the most popular item on the menu for tourists and local alike. The brewhouse is designed in the traditional German style and looks like something out of the 1800s. Try some traditional German brewhouse food—the fare is solid, and necessary to soak up all that beer.
