In the past, those convicted in the Wuppertal district or regional court could wash down their grief with beer from 90 local breweries. These times are unfortunately over. Beer is now only produced in the "Wuppertal Brauhaus" (Brewhouse). It is located in a historic swimming pool in the Barmer City and worth a visit. However, you can still learn to brew in a craft beer shop on Luisenstraße.

A beer brand that hasn't been produced here for a long time remains unforgotten thanks to its advertising slogan. Men call: "Männer wie wir – Wicküler Bier" (Men like us – love Wicküler Beer), which rhymes in German.
