Duckstein is actually a product of the Holsten Brauerei in Hamburg,
which coincidentally is also a good place to start your search for
Matjes. Some of the best Matjes I've had outside of the Netherlands
has been in the area North and West of Hamburg (where I spent my
youngest years), particularly Glueckstadt and other Elbe towns.
While Duckstein is not one of my favourites, Holsten has produced a
number of beers that I've enjoyed, including Holsten 'Dry'. I don't
know if that's still produced, but it was the best version of the
'Dry' style that I've ever had, with a crispness that makes Pilsener
Urquell seem a bit soft.
