In 2014 this tour was mentioned in the New York Times as a „Must see“ in Düsseldorf!

What’s brewing? The comedy brewing seminar with the guaranteed aha effect.

If you’ve ever wanted to know how ALT beer is brewed but lack the lingo to unlock the mysteries of old beer brewing, have we got something for you: the first-ever comedy-brewing seminar!
It’s the only seminar of its kind combining laugh-out-loud humor with expert knowledge; providing infotainment with that special aha effect. In a little under an hour we’ll transform you into an ALT beer connoisseur, into an old beer-brewing expert!

Running the seminar is none other than comedian and comedy writer Lars Hohlfeld, who, by the way, knows a thing or two about beer.  And not just about drinking it!   He’s been a regular on TV and is also the host of the stand up comedy show “Pop up Comedy.” By way of funny anecdotes, humorous spontaneity and the personal charm and style of the man in the green shirt himself, you’ll learn all there is to learn about the beer that’s been awarded the coveted Golden European Beer Star Award: Schlüssel-ALT.
And not just that: you’ll also get to test it, taste it and if you want to, even smell it during this one-of-a-kind gastronomical event that will refresh your senses and bring laughter to your face!
At the conclusion of the seminar you’ll be able to answer important questions like: How do the bubbles actually get into an ALT beer? Why does it take a Pilsner just 7 minutes while a good ALT needs a full 21 days? And last but not least, the question many have been asking since the beginning of time:  what exactly IS the difference between ALT beer from Düsseldorf and KÖLSCH from Cologne?

Following your tour, you’ll be transformed into a moist and merry hops aficionado with knowledge that no one will dare to challenge. And as proof of your expertise, you’ll even get a personalized certificate to hang up and display in your favorite place. And the great thing about it is that once it’s yours, it’s yours for life! And if that’s not enough, how about a glass of tasty Schlüssel Alt on us!
