A field guide to getting lost in Amsterdam

Cracked Kettle

Go for a beer?

Sometimes it’s nice to have a good beer in a typical Amsterdammer cafè, but when the summer comes it is wonderful to spend all the day long in the parks or just sitting by the canals with a good beer. Anyway if you are tired of the beer cans  you can generally find in the super-markets and you want to try something new, then you should pass by the Cracked Kettle.

It is a very small shop in the Center of Amsterdam, on a little street that crosses Spui Straat (Raamsteeg 3). They have more than 500 different types of beer from all over Europe: a vast choice of biological and indipendent producers. If you are a curiouse person you can also try strange varieties as the choco-beer or the one with banana taste. Ask them to suggest you something!

I would suggest the one without any tag: it is a Belgian beer produced in a small farm in the middle of nowhere. It is very difficult to find it in other places and the taste is great.

Proost!
