Where to even start with Uiltje…read more Haarlem-based Jopenbier started a competition that was open to the public a few years back that tasked competitors with brewing a "masterpiece beer," with the winner given the privilege of being able to brew the winning beer commercially through Jopen. The now-head brewer of Uiltje supposedly won the competition consecutively for a couple years, before coming to his senses and deciding that he should branch off and start his own brouwerij. Jopen, being the class act they are, helped Uiltje off their feet by providing the brewing equipment and the know-how to get the company up and running; Uiltje initially contract brewed almost all their beers through Jopen, and for those that have ventured a little into the downtown Haarlem area would notice that the "Uiltje Bar" isn't too far away from the "Jopen Church." Touching historical anecdotes aside, Uiltje are one of the most unique and most refreshing breweries I've come across during my journey across the Netherlands; they are decisively American in terms of influence and inspiration, but with lots of decisively Western-European/Dutch elements when it comes to technique. Their IPAs are some of the most well-balanced alpha-acid-packed hoppy ales I've tried on this side of the planet, while their porters, stouts and barrel-aged offerings carry almost as much oomph as some of the Northern European headliners (de Molen, Omnipollo, Amager, etc.). Their design concept ("little owl") is refreshingly cute and comical, much like the people working at the brewery; my server felt more like a long-lost friend who was dying to tell me all about the awesome beers he'd brewed during the long break when I'd purportedly not seen him; the brewer actually stopped by every 45 minutes or so to guzzle down a pint of his favorite brew (his own, duh) and ask me various thoughts about his beers and how they ranked compared to others I've tried. All in all, this would probably rank in as a must-do experience should I return to Haarlem any time in the near future; be forewarned that the Brouwerij is actually quite a bit of a walk away from the nearest NS station, so you may want to keep a bike handy. Food choices at the brewpub is very limited, so might want to grab a bite (maybe at Ikea?) before making your way up Bingerweg. Cash or pin only.

With 20 taps, Stadsbrouwhuis is one of the latest and greatest additions to the Leiden craft beer…read morescene. Their beer selection reliably features several conventional Brand beers, but venturing beer geeks will surely find a brew they've never seen in one of the quickly rotating taps. In addition to serving up a variety of local and international beers, Stadsbrouwhuis also brews their own tasteful ales. Though their (very affordable) vegetarian dishes won't fill you up for a night of drinking, their crunchy and thickly sliced French fries do a fine job. We've only seen (rather than tasted) their other food from a distance, but everything looks like a well-made and inspired fusion of styles. As for their snacks: they're on the pricey side but very generous. Finally, the friendly staff is always excited to help you in beer-mergency situations. And in the rare occasion that their descriptions don't trigger your taste buds, you're always welcome to have a free taste. All in all, Stadsbrouwhuis is ideal for adventurous tasting and memorable conversations. But if you just have time to drop by on your way to a social event, be sure to pick up a swing-top bottle that's filled with anything from tap.

We were on a self guided walking tour of Rotterdam and this place popped up on our radar as a nice place to grab a bite to eat and get out of the cold rain for a bit. It did not disappoint. We grabbed seats at the bar to better survey our surroundings. The place looked to be full of locals, so we knew we were in good hands. It's kind of a small place, with maybe 10 tables, but the mirrored wall makes it look much bigger. We had eaten a little earlier in the day, but still had a touch of the munchies, so we ordered a charcuterie board and lobster bitterballen, along with a beer for him and a coke for me. There were several kinds of meat on the board, from salami to prosciutto. All were delicious, and all seemed to melt in your mouth. The lobster bitterballen were even better than the waygu beef bitterballen we had earlier! We found this place after turning down the wrong street on our way back to the train station, and what a happy discovery it was; I've got it bookmarked, just in case I'm ever back in Rotterdam! 32/2019

The bartenders were super nice and friendly (always a pleasant surprise) and were talking to the other regulars about what they did last night and what they plan to do after work. Super casual. It seemed like they were also very knowledgeable about beer so if you're not sure, you can consult with them to get recommendations. The beer was great and there were a lot of options. The location is near the park and also near a tram stop if you want to take public transport after your beers (or beer tour, in my case). I hope to do the beer tour again when I'm in Amsterdam and therefore come back to Craft & Draft.
