Uerige
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany · Est. 1862
Tally's Take
Why this matters
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.

Poured from wooden casks by waiters who keep replacing your glass until you cover it. Düsseldorf's answer to a country that went to lager.
