Oedipus Brewing
@ONWARDS
A personal favorite. The colorful home to locally-famed Thai Thai (Spiced Tripel) & Mannen Liefde (Saison) brews found at many bars throughout the country. The taproom is in the process of relocating (sad), but keep an eye out for the beer. You’ll recognize it from the colorful bottle designs. They’re everywhere.

Proeflokaal Arendsnest
@ONWARDS
Amsterdam beerhall legend serving 52 beers on draft and more than 100 in bottles/cans — all from Holland. TIP: enjoy the bustle of the surrounding Jordaan area, and if you’re in the neighborhood on a Saturday or Monday, walk a few blocks to Noorderkerk for the famous Noordermarkt. Stop on the “MOREBEER TOUR” including Mikkeller, The Beer Temple, and Craft & Draft. (Drink 1 beer at each bar in 1 day and keep the receipt to receive a free t-shirt at Craft & Draft — funny.)

An ode to American beer culture — with a Dutch twist, of course. 50 draft lines. 200 can/bottle selection. Everything from Goose Island to Lagunitas to Uiltje (based in Haarlem) to house-brewed Morebeer. A cozy, unpretentious vibe. Bar snacks available in the evening hours.
