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.
