I was told that I had to try Alt beer while in Düsseldorf and this place came with great reviews!…read more The brewery is large with indoor and outdoor seating! Being alone and confused on the Europe protocol for seating, I am always very shy and the staff here was very nice and accommodating. The gentleman made sure I had comfortable and was very attentive making sure that I had everything I needed. The alt beer is very good! Not too bitter and perfect to accompany the pork knuckle! The pork knuckle was by far one of the best that I have had! Super crispy skin with a good gravy! Make sure to tell them when you want to stop with the beers or else they keep bringing them! Very affordable lunch for one!

The pork knuckle (20.80 Euros) is the thing to get here. I could barely finish half of it but it's…read moreperfectly cooked - delicious and crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Super crowded and bustling, which probably explained the brusque attitude of the staff. They will keep bringing you beers when they see empty cups on the table, even if you don't drink.

Not only the best Brauhaus in Krefeld, but at the whole lower Rhine…read more The beer is great, you get not only Alt (they call it misleadingly lager, but it actually is Altbier, the best I know, and I know them all), you get also Weizen and Hell (it tastes like a very good Koelsch). It is the most beautiful Brauhaus I know, very authentic, and, very typically for Krefeld, there hardly any tourists. The kitchen is good. If you are bold, try the Mott Anton, fried black pudding with apple sauce, onions and meshed potatoes. In Cologne they call it Heaven and Earth, but this is better.

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.
