More on the brewery museum in other posts, but there was an interesting display at this museum at just how brewing has changed in Dortmund. From tens of brewers at the beginning of the twentieth century, the number had fallen sharply by 1958 and it was down to just one by the beginning of this century.
1901 and there was no shortage of breweries to surprise and delight the locals.
1958 and consolidation and buyouts had begun.
2006 and down to just one brewery in the city, which is Dortmunder Actien Brauerei (DAB) who are owned by Dr. Oetker of pizza fame.
