The history of Amsterdam & Netherlands through a beer glass

Join me, a beer sommelier, for an immersive 3 hour dive into Dutch beer culture and history with a pub crawl through Amsterdam’s Old Town to uncover how beer shaped Dutch history—from medieval times to the modern craft beer revolution. • We will meet in Dam Square right in front of The Royal Palace and then take a 5 minute walk to our first venue. • Our first stop will be De Pilsener Club, a cozy traditional bar that opened in 1893. Sip a classic beer as I explain beer’s impact on trade from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. • Next, head to the tasting room at In De Wildeman to enjoy a carefully chosen beer from the selection of 18 on tap and 250-plus in bottles. I’ll discuss the effects of the Industrial Revolution on commercial brewing. • Wrap up with a locally brewed craft beer at Proeflokaal Arendsnest, which has more than 50 Dutch beers on tap and more than 100 types in bottles. As we reflect on how beer styles have evolved for modern palates, you’ll leave with suggestions for more places to drink good beer in Amsterdam.

Hopefully, you enjoyed your trip to Amsterdam. And since this chapter has come to an end, it is time to make your last night unforgettable. Amsterdam is one of those few cities that matches everybody’s tastes all around the world. We will meet at the heart of the city, in a typically designed cafe-bar space. I will invite you for welcome drinks as the Dutch people do for warming up and ice-breaking. As our vibe gets higher, we move to another district full of different venues. Amsterdam beer has been unique until today, so we have to hit one of those bars that, for sure, offers beer for everyone. With a huge selection of other drinks as well, you will have the chance to try some unique sips. We continue through Old Town and the Red Light District, and we visit one of the pioneer bars that counts decades, and until now, it has been the host of unforgettable evenings. To feel some rebellious, liberal, hippy, and vintage vibes, we end up at an equally famous but newer spot. And that is when you wish it was not your last Last Night in Amsterdam.
