Currywurst was very delicious too! The other sausage was yummy with a better than expected potato salad! Restrooms/toilets were super clean. House beer was an amber ale or brown lager. They also have other types of beer. If you are in Düsseldorf, this is worth checking out.

The Christmas Market time in Germany is super busy and especially on Friday - Sunday. Schumacher alt is the oldest brewery in Düsseldorf. Established in 1838. Thankfully they have modern and clean restrooms to evacuate all the beer drank there. The ambiance of the place is a lively beer hall. There are picnic tables and banquettes of various sizes. The wait staff are intentionally a little rude. Part of their stick. The beers keep coming until you say stop. You get the house brew in 10 oz. glasses. The waiter makes a mark on a coaster each time he brings a round. When you have had enough be sure to put a coaster on top of your glass, or the beer will keep coming. The food menu is large and only in German. It is a good time to use the photo translation feature on your phone. The food was very good and a LOT! I highly recommend a stop here for an authentic German experience.

We wanted to try Altbier since that's what Düsseldorf is known for, and this was one of the recommended breweries from our online research. Indoor and outdoor standing tables are available, as well as booths inside if you want to sit. Unfortunately they didn't offer pitchers, so we just ordered a ton of glasses which they brought out on a large paddle. Cash only but there was an ATM nearby that we were able to withdraw from. Overall, great no-frills place to grab some tasty affordable Altbier and catch up with a group of friends.

They offered to start a tab but I just paid and found a seat. Most of the tables had reservation cards but for later in the evening so I sat down at one of them and drank the beer. It's a very low-key, straightforward place and a good option to try the famous Altbier from Dusseldorf.
