This is one of the most historical German breweries and I absolutely love its vibrant ambiance!…read moreThey are located in the very heart of Düsseldorf 's Altstadt (Old Town) and have excellent alt beers (the dark, slightly bitter brew which is typical of the Düsseldorf area and almost like a religion here). They also have a wide menu of regional and perfectly executed German delicacies, including the Schweinemett (raw pork) and Schnitzel. It's aways worth a visit while in Düsseldorf. Prices are very fair and the portions are super generous.

Yes, the evening began with a semi-civilized dining on plates of predetermined authentic regional appetizers including meats, tartar, cheeses, crackers, and breads. The full slim glasses of Kolsch and wines kept arriving and delivered without request. FINE SERVICE INDEED! The main course Sauerbraten much of the same with beautiful and delicious Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, Spaetzle, Laberkason, Red Cabbage, and Cheesecake for desert. Service was outstanding and on spot. The Brauerei was warm and festive. A fantastic meal, great spirited vibe with fresh Kolsch that never stopped!

We were with a large group and everyone was served promptly and efficiently. Fantastic German food and probably the best Kolsch beer I've ever tasted. The Kobe's were quick to serve another beer as soon as your glass got low.

This is a staple of Münster and would recommend anyone visiting Münster to stop here for a beer!…read moreAll of their beers I've tried are great and beloved throughout Münster by all generations. My personal favorite is the Pinkus Special beer. It's a really tasty beer and super easy to drink. Especially nice is during summer when they have the tables outside along Kreuzstraße. They're really nice for people watching and to enjoy the weather (when it's cooperating!) For food, I've only had the Flammkuchen and pretzels here which were both good. They have traditional Westphalian food here as well. Definitely worth a visit!

They use the cologne system of measuring the beers you drink by marking your coaster. Their beers are fantastic. Some are aged in whiskey barrels and and brewed by the restaurant. I was also a big fan of the pink panther. Their food was also phenomenal! The brautwerst and sausages was amazing. The staff was so welcoming of a beer n00b like myself. They kept bringing out samples for me to try. They had such pride for their incredible product. I will definitely be back!!!

Glad to have discovered something I love almost as much as stouts. Braustelle's Munchausen sour ale also ranks up there with the sours I love. Though it's much tamer and not so tart (which is how I normally go). A good gateway choice for those looking for sours and definitely a refreshing summer beverage.

Afternoon outing for our Team at a local brewery in Holland. Located in the middle of a very green…read morepasture. We got there by several hired cars. Makes sense we are all drinking plus it seems it would be easy to get lost out here ie go past the windmill. Wait we are in Holland the land of beautiful green pastures, cows and windmills. Our tour consisted of several rounds of different varieties of beer. Definitely different than a wine tasting as here every round was more delicious than the next. Can I buy any of these back in the States probably not so enjoy it while you can. After there was a huge line for the WC,bathroom ie toilets. The men in Holland were very polite as they let me cut the line as there was only one. Next visit to Holland I would definitely return great way to spend a rainy,cold Friday afternoon. Cheers!

Of course, as expected, the evening grew into a wonderful time with laughs, singing, and even sharing stories of days past. The tap and slender glasses of cold Kolsch kept arriving. The only way to stop the friendly servers from delivering was to reluctantly place your beverage coaster on top of your glass, signaling a No Thank You. Sometimes ignored and graciously thanked. Our group of recently acquainted strangers quickly became friends with a similar liking of fresh Kolsch, which is to be respected and enjoyed only while in Cologne.
