 This
monumental brewpub is located in what looks like a 19th century bank. It isn't too
difficult to find, being about the first pre-war building you'll come across if you
walk from the station and take a left turn down Düsseldorferstraße. It's still
in the pedestrianised shopping centre, but if you're on the lazy side, it's one undergound
tram stop away from the Hauptbahnhof.
It's named after a mine and has a mining theme for its décor. A fair bit of the original
fabric of the building has been left in place. The marble columns and ornate wooden
ceiling are particularly fine. The cavernous space has been partitioned off into smaller
areas with pine tables. A section of railway line form a mine is stuck onto one of
the walls (my son was pretty impressed by this, being a big train fan).
The beer selection isn't bad - four regular beers, all in different styles. They're
well made and demonstrate that style and attracting crowds of yuppies aren't the top
priorities here. It's refreshing to find a new German brewpub with more than Helles,
Dunkles (served with the consistency of potato soup to demonstrate that they are an
unfiltered, natural product) and buffalo wings to offer.
It was founded in 1995.

 Very
handily located on Duisburg's main shopping street spitting distance form the Hauptbahnhof,
Heinrichs has an unusually large beer selection. It's easy to spot, being painted
white and covered in brewery logos.
Inside, it's a pretty bog standard modern German boozer. The bar counter occupies
the left hand wall and has a few barstools. To the right is a slightly raised area
of booths. A high shelf is home to a collection of beer glasses and steins. I'm not
going to pretend that there's any big charm of cosy thing going on here. It's slightly
worn 1980's style, where bland has a big say in the proceedings. But it's a cheery
enough place and the waitresses are skilled and friendly.
There are far worse places to stop in for a drink while on a shopping trip. In fact,
if you ever have an hour or so between trains it's a far better option than the bars
in the station and hardly any further to walk.
The draught beer selection is hard to fault. A decent range of styles and geographical
locations are represented. I'm impressed by any pub that has three draught dark beers.
The food concentrates on fish dishes.

Finkenkrug is a real rarity in Germany: a genuine specialist beer pub.
It's a corner pub in a ghastly modern building not far from the main station. It has
a modern, but reasonably simple and tasteful interior. There is an impressive array
of neon beer signs above the bar. There is a beer garden and it occasionally hosts
live music..
The beer selction is exceptional for a German pub. About half the bottled selection
is Belgian, the rest coming from Britain, Germany, France, Czech Republic, USA and
others.
