Duckstein Brewery – More Than Just the Beer

This week, we headed to Duckstein Brewery for some good beer, good food, and good conversation.

It was a rainy, winter day. But the entrance of the brewery looked beautiful nonetheless. There were a few picturesque spots which are definitely insta-worthy. Everything about the scenery just shouted of romance and wanderlust.

As we walked into Duckstein, the warmth of the place immediately hits us. It was perfectly heated for winter, and there’s a feel-good vibe to the place. It’s like walking into a good pal’s home and you’re immediately greeted with sounds of chattering and laughter.

Duckstein’s beer is excellent. Yours truly tried their ginger beer, and it is extremely well-drafted. The beer itself had a perfect balance of ginger, not too much but not too little either. It was a wonderful thing to drink in winter.

Staying true the brewery’s German expertise, we decided to try their sharing platter. We ordered the ‘Schweinshaxe’, which is a serving of crispy roast pork knuckle, and ‘The Ring’ which is 1kg of german sausage.

Everything about the sharing platter was a winner. The pork knuckle was crispy, and it was served in a creamy pepper sauce that went extremely well with the pork. Meanwhile, the sausage was juicy and tender. Both meals came with a serving of potatoes and sauerkraut.

However, the key addition to the dish that really made a difference was the German mustard. The pork and sausage itself is relatively, and wisely, subtle. Hence adding a little mustard with the dish definitely brought a nice punch.

Duckstein Brewery is not just about the beer. It is an ideal place for family and big groups that are looking for a comfy and vibrant setting for food. It is highly recommended for travelers who are visitng Swan Valley. We’d certainly go there again!
