Old Düsseldorf is an altbier brewed in Maryland.
It is Magnum’s favourite beer in part because it was the beer of choice for the United States Naval Academy football team he quarterbacked in 1967. Magnum prefers it in long-neck bottles.

Background[]
“Old Düsseldorf” is a fictional beer, named after Düsseldorf, Germany.
Yet, according to Wikipedia, Altbier (German: [ˈaltˌbiːɐ̯], German for old beer) is a style of beer brewed in the Rhineland, especially around the city of Düsseldorf, Germany. It is a copper coloured beer whose name comes from it being top-fermented, an older method than the bottom fermentation of lagers.
