North Rhine-Westphalia
North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state located in the western part of the country, has a rich brewing tradition dating back centuries with Cologne (Köln) and Düsseldorf serving as its beer capitals. The region is particularly known for Kölsch, a bright, clear top-fermented beer exclusively brewed in Cologne, and Altbier, a copper-colored, cool-fermented ale traditional to Düsseldorf. Notable breweries include Früh, Gaffel, and Reissdorf (Kölsch producers) and Uerige, Schumacher, and Füchschen (Altbier producers), with many operating historic brewpubs in their respective cities.
