THE place to stay is Am Fuschen Hotel, upstairs from Im Fuschen Brewpub,
in Dusseldorf. The front window of your room looks out onto the sidewalk
in front of the brewpub, and the back door overlooks the brewhouse.
Upstairs from one of Dusseldorf's best althouses, and an easy walk from
the others.
Contact: Am Fuschen Hotel, Ratinger Strasse 32, 40213 Dusseldorf,
Germany Voice:(02 11) 86796-0 Fax:(02 11) 32-86-39 Call during the day -
their time - to get somebody who speaks English. The proprietor Herr
Bucher will have stories to tell about Herr Deschner, Herr Hamburg, Herr
Mayes, Herr Daniels, and Herr Linsner (Mr. Forgetter Of Keys) of the
Chicago Beer Society who have been previous guests at the hotel.
And beer? Im Fuschen is the most perfectly balanced of the Dusseldorf
altbiers, although less hoppy than the towering Zum Uerige. Many of us
say, "Zum Uerige is our favorite, but Im Fuschen is the perfect example
of the style."
To frost the cake, Im Fuschen has really, really good food.
Prices are reasonable considering the Downtown location. At last visit
around $85USD for two people.
