An offer from the Cracked Kettle

The Cracked Kettle must have discoverd my blog. In the shoutbox on the side of the blog they've posted the following: "Cracked Kettle have 33cl cans of Grimbergen Blond (6.7%) @ 1 Euro. Mention this blog & get 10% off".
That's nice.... Grimbergen Blond 33cl cans for €0,90 cents if you mention my Blog at the Cracked Kettle.
You can find them at Raamsteeg 3 in a small alley between the singel canal and Spuistraat directly across the street from the Belgium beer cafe Gollem. They are about a 5 minute walk from Dam square and are open daily from 12PM-10PM. For more information call them from Amsterdam at 020-6240745 anytime. Outside the country call +31-(0)20-6240745.
