On the second day of the tour, we visited Ziemann-Bauer in the morning. Z-B manufactures tanks for the brewing and food industries. They normally make anything from mash mixers to fermentation tanks for breweries, but while we were there, they were making enormous vessels to hold orange juice that is being exported by boat from South America. I was unable to take any photos at Z-B, but it was a very impressive facility working with more stainless steel than I’ve ever seen. Our next stop was a large brewpub in Dusseldorf. We were treated to an amazing pork knuckle dinner and some fantastic alt bier that they brew. Also, the tour was awesome. They brew with a neat mix of very traditional techniques, such as chilling the beer with a cool ship and a surface chiller, and more modern techniques. We were also invited to taste some whiskey that they distill from some of their beer. It was very tasty and a nice treat. Here are some of the pictures I took at Uerige:
