Everything here has been through the same read: what happens on the day, how long it really lasts, what it costs and who it is wasted on. The 5 craft beer tours in the Netherlands that came out of it are below.
A 3-hour Amsterdam craft beer tour by air-conditioned bus, hitting 3 craft breweries with guided tastings, friendly hosts, and great value.
“We went to 3 breweries one that we probably would not have discovered otherwise. A good amount of beer drinking vs. chatting which I appreciated. The perfect length.”
Taste four Delft craft beers in a medieval 1300 cellar at Delfts Brouwhuis, with Bavarian pretzels and cheese-beer dip.
“The service was very polite. The building itself is pretty cool. We also bought an additional beer. All the beer was very good. My only concern was the pretzel was REALLY hard, but the dip was tasty! I would recommend this activity.”
Amsterdam craft beer bus tour with an expert guide, 3 brewery stops, 3 tastings each, and one exclusive brewery tour from Overhoeksplein.
“Great tour and fantastic guide. We had a really great time and we had a great laugh with the tour guide/ driver. Highly recommended”
A small-group Amsterdam craft beer walk with jenever tastings, award-winning bars, canal views, and Dutch snacks, finishing near De Prael.
“Hugh was a great guide, made it fun and really knows his stuff. Great way to spend the afternooon exploring the city.”
English craft beer tasting at ClinkNoord behind Amsterdam Central, with five Dutch beers plus cheese, sausage, and nuts.
“Our guide arrived a couple of minutes after the event was supposed to start and she never really recovered. (apparently her bus was late, it happens) We tasted several good beers and had some nice snacks - but four of the five beers were from the same brewery and the guide didn't do much beyond serving us and reading the labels. She also didn't do anything to encourage the attendees to chat and mingle. The location was also odd - the basement cafeteria of a youth hostel - not a bad space exactly but it certainly didn't make you want to linger. Also wasn't ideal that the hostel folks were…”
