The name of the brewery with its gastronomy goes back to a medieval tradition, as the key for the city gate was kept in a neighbouring restaurant. Even today, the key is still there - as a symbol in the logo of the brewery. And it seems that people still know how to brew good beer: Already twice, in 2012 and 2014, the brewery “Zum Schlüssel” was pleased to receive a worldwide renowned award, the “European Beer Star” in the category “Düsseldorf style Altbier”.
