Uerige indeed is a very fine brew and extremely quaffable. What makes a visit to the Uerige Hausbrauerei so enjoyable is that it is deeply linked in the conception and history of Duesseldorf but today is as lively and crowded as ever. Local supermarkets and drink shops are supplied with Uerige in bottles, with the date of the brew printed on the label and a use-by date of one month. So you can always have a glass of super-fresh Uerige at home - actually I do at the moment. Keep up the good work!

If it's not enough beer, order another one!<br /><br />I will always have a greater fondness for Schlösser Alt than the beer actually deserves. When I was 17 and working in Germany I had a choice between Herforder Pils and Paderborner Pilsener in most places, so Schlösser, when I could get it, represented a nice change of pace.Séan Billingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10347677720588826886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-83997968626754636192010-01-06T10:54:52.843+00:002010-01-06T10:54:52.843+00:0015L sounds like a much more sensible measure than ...15L sounds like a much more sensible measure than 25cl when it comes to Uerige Alt.The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-13167621517397038372010-01-06T10:50:49.687+00:002010-01-06T10:50:49.687+00:00It's been so long since I was in Düsseldorf, I...It's been so long since I was in Düsseldorf, I really should get there for a Saturday of drinking...<br /><br />I quite liked the Füchschen when I had it last, but the Uerige definitely takes pole position for me.
