Treffers

So... I went to Treffers tonight. They used to be called Trefpunt and they used to be on a different corner. Now they are on the corner of the Admiraal de Ruyterweg and the Willem de Zwijgerlaan. They are good. They've got a proper covered patio and 3 beers on tap. Heineken, Wieckse Witte and Wisseltap. Now I was confused about wisseltap because I thought it was an actual beer... It isn't an actual beer but it's a tap they've got open for a different monthly beer... They don't use it though... What a waste...
Music there is fine... 70's and Andre Hazes.... They show football on big screens... Nice people and prices are not too bad.... Thats all I've got to say about this place. Vaasje? € 2.00....

Heineken Cider ?

What's this then? Apparently Heineken is going to introduce Heineken Cider from tap in 17 bars in Amsterdam. Does anyone know where? Heineken calls it a female drink and the perfect alternative for lager and wine. It will have 5% alcohol and it will be called Charli. They hope to introduce it everywhere in the Netherlands at the beginning of 2008. Mmm, I'm very curious to see what this tastes like.

BEER!

From €1,00 to €4,90

I've got a new update ready for you people. Beers range from €1,00 in several places to a disgusting €4,90 at the Okura / Twenty one. How dare they ask that much money for a third of a liter of lager. These people should be fined. Just click on the picture to see the complete list so far.

This must be the cheapest beer in town

Below bars must have the cheapest beer in and around town. Perfect for low budget backpack tourists, or just people with very little money..
Beware! Most of the places down below are Rock bars, so if you don't like rock music you might aswell not go. It's just a pity all these bars open up so late... In the near future I'll go to all of them and see whatelse they've got to offer.
Because this is a beerblog I'll only give the beerprices. But I can tell you in som of these places a glass of wine is the same price and a glass of Wodka just TWO Euro's!
OT301 on the southside of Vondelpark, beer €1,50, only open after 21:00.
MKZ on the Eerste Schinkelstraat, beer €1,00, only open tuesdays through thursdays after 19:00.

Proef

I went to a new bar tonight and it's excellent! They have a drinking area and a separate food area, they've got a terrace outside as well. It's called Proef and it's got 22!!! beers on tap. 22 Belgian beers to be specific! Except for them 22 beers they have at least another 7 beers in bottles. One of the beers I tried was Hommel from Poperinge. Never heard from it before but what a beautiful taste. They even got their own beer: Proef Blond, brewed by the people from the Prael Brewery. Strange thing: If you look at the Proef Blond logo, you can see the name of the brewery is misspelled. On top of it all you can eat lovely food there as well and they've got live jazz music there on Sunday's. You won't find me there then, I hate jazz but this is perfect. A Belgian bar just around the corner from my house!
