Beer Parties & Tasting
By Rahul viz
Amsterdam is The Netherlands’s Number One tourist destination, and deservedly so. It is a marvelous place for the general visitor, having some world-class museums and other don’t-miss tourist attractions. Of course, many are attracted by the city's infamous Red Light District. The cit’'s facilities are complemented by marvelous restaurants and hotels to suit all price ranges.
Although Amsterdam is world famous as a general tourist destination, it is also of major importance when it comes to Specialty (Speciale Bieren). In the early 1970s, a number of cafés with large lists were set up, including one, the Café Gollem, Raamsteeg , which was described as the best Specialty bar in the world, by Michael Jackson. Later, world-class places such as In de Wildeman, Kolksteeg 3 came along, both inspired and spawned from it, including a second Café Gollem (Daniel Stalpertstraat 74).
Just opposite the original Café Gollem, there is a very good shop, that opened in 2005, De Gekraakte Ketel (The Cracked Kettle), Raamsteeg 3. Many Specialty bars in the city feature beers from two small breweries in the city itself, which were set up on the wave of the growing interest in Specialty Beers.
The Specialty bars in Amsterdam initially offered almost exclusively Belgian Beers; such was the public’s perception of the quality of such beers, but today many also stock marvelous examples from breweries from all over The Netherlands. The superlative 't Arendsnest, only stocks Dutch beers, all the country’s fifty-two or so Specialty brewers
being represented in the ever changing selection of around 150 bottled beers and fifteen draught/tap ones, from the 600 or so Dutch ones to choose from.
't Arendsnest is a Specialty bar of true quality. Such a place, concentrating on Dutch Specialty Beers, had been long awaited. It is worth a visit. It is on the edge of the Jordaan district, near the Brouwersgracht (Brewers’ Canal) end of Herengracht (Gentlemen's Canal), near the corner with Herenstraat. There are activities in the basement cellar, the Proeflokaal Bartholomeus (Bartholomy’s Tasting Room), such as organized group visits, tutored tasting, PINT meetings and brewing courses. So enjoy the trip and have a cool beer.
