Moderator Tommy Posted March 11, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 11, 2021 If you're into darker beers with character, the Düsseldorf home breweries are delicious. Those are my favs: If you like piss, you can always choose Kölsch. Don't drink it in or around Düsseldorf though, or you will be taken behind a barn Not much of a Pils drinker these days, but I think Bitburger is the best in that department. Königs Pilsener is very average IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame. But it's in a very hipster-ish region near the media harbour. So not that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part the craft beer craze here though. Finding ways to up the alcohol content while maintaining the flavor balance. My interest starts dropping off when brewers are cranking out imperial IPA's that are 8-9% ABV. 5-7% is my comfort zone for most beers. If I need any more than that then I'll just grab some tequila. I recall this Amber being pleasant enough. I think I had it in a local pizza pub when I asked them to recommend a "brown ale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted March 11, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 11, 2021 I don't mind Warsteiner, but it wouldn't be one my first choices either. Their Brewers Gold looks very good though, that amber colour, but I haven't tried it yet... @Tommy? @Rucksackfranzose? Have you tried that one?
