From the record
Summary
Düsseldorf's benchmark Altbier house. Uerige means grumpy in the local dialect. Beer is poured straight from wooden casks by Köbes waiters who continue serving until the drinker covers the glass.
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
Altbier is old beer — top-fermented then cold-conditioned, the German ale that survived the lager takeover in one city. The waiters keep replacing your glass until you put a beermat on top, which is either excellent hospitality or a trap, depending on your plans.
