1st November 2022. Blimey, this was a long day. We’d shown Joan and Dave the architectural and pubby highlights of Dusseldorf, and now the only thing left was to find my fox. I found it just beyond this amazing juxtaposition of old and new around the Basilika St. Lambertus. Once again, Dave provides the best… Continue reading Fuchschen. RM finds his fox.

UERIGE – DON’T BELIEVE THE TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
1st November 2022. Having just done an interview promoting the UK’s wonderful pubs, it’s only to be expected that I spend the rest of the week eulogising the German ones. Their buildings are often gorgeous, the beer consistent and quaffable, and the köbes in Dusseldorf and Cologne as cheery, chatty and efficient as you could… Continue reading UERIGE – DON’T BELIEVE THE TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
Away from the Bolkerstraße
1st November 2022. I first came to Dusseldorf in 2015 with James, straight after his “O” levels.

Coming to Germany and missing out on Uerige is akin to visiting Maidenhead and skipping the Conservative Club. But Dusseldorf is more than Alt… Continue reading SCHUMACHER IM GOLDENEN KESSEL – ALT AND OFFAL
A DOUBLE IN DUSSELDORF
More German holiday pics from 2015 to make Dick and Dave jealous. Having found a little stash of photos from that German trip with James I might as well press on while I can still remember any of it. I was using the Good Beer Guide to Germany back then; in a BRAPA-style fit… Continue reading A DOUBLE IN DUSSELDORF
TOP 100 PUBS – ZUM UERIGE, DUSSELDORF
My 2nd Top 100 pub is probably the one I’m keenest to revisit, as soon as I can get Ryanair flight prices and 3 clear days aligned. I’ve been reading reports from Dusseldorf from City fans en route to Monchengladbach for the match who have been raving about the Alstadt pubs, and feeling very jealous.… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – ZUM UERIGE, DUSSELDORF
