You like drinking beer?
Try Dutch Beer!

All of you have heard of Heineken, a great Dutch beer, but did you know there are more. Have you heard of Amstel, Grolsch, Brand, Oranjeboom or Dommelsch? You can even buy these beers here in Vancouver. When I came here to Vancouver I soon realized that there is no such thing as a beer-drinking culture. To enter in a bar or club you need to be nineteen and the people don't drink only beer but they drink orona”, Smirnoff ice and Tequila. The beer that you can get from the tap is usually a lager beer without a smell and a boring taste. If you want to taste the Dutch beers go to one of the pubs on Granville street or go to the Cambie pub.

Heineken
In December 1863 Gerard Adriaan Heineken bought the brewery Hooiberg” and Heineken was founded. In 1933 just three days after the prohibition ended Heineken exported their beer to the United States. It was a giant success and nowadays it is the most successful import beer in the US. Today Heineken is an international company that even has its own Canadian division-which you can visit at www.heineken.com/canada. They distribute and sell Heineken, Amstel light and Murphy’ Irish Stout here in Canada. All of the Heineken Brands are brewed in the Netherlands and exported into Canada. Heineken is the second largest Brewery in the world and produces more than 80 million hectoliters under the supervision of Heineken. Heineken is the most popular beer in the Netherlands because of its beautiful taste that will never bore you. It's the ideal party beer.
Laughed about it.

Grolsch
For almost four centuries, Grolsch brewers have been making a beer that is famous all around the globe for its flavour and character. Besides malt, hops and water, Grolsch brewers use a fourth vital ingredient: time. It takes several weeks to complete the perfectly natural brewing process, which makes Grolsch beer so special. The company has its origins in the eastern part of the Netherlands. From here, Grolsch exports its beer to more than 50 countries. Grolsch Premium Lager is available in various packaging, including the unique swing top bottle, a glassblower's masterpiece. It was back in 1897 when Grolsch first began selling its beer in these distinctive bottles with their swing top stoppers. Grolsch beer is a beer you will love or hate because of its really bitter and special taste. If you want to find out more about Grolsch go to http://www.grolsch.com/.

Amstel
You people from Europe will all know Amstel because it's a major sponsor of the UEFA Champions League. Amstel is the cheap beer in The Netherlands it's like Heineken a real drinking beer but to my opinion not as good as Heineken but still tasteful. Amstel is named after the river Amstel that flows through Amsterdam. The river was used to cool the beer. Today Amstel is part of the Heineken Company and is exported worldwide. If you want to find out more about Amstel check http://www.amstel.com/.

Brand
If you ever go to the Netherlands you should try this superb beer. It is one of the oldest pilsner beers, the beer is bitter and strong but still tasteful and delicious. That means that the alcohol level is higher and you can hold it longer without losing its great taste. The brewery was founded in 1795 and since then the beer is famous. Brand is the pride of Limburg a province of the Netherlands. www.brand.nl

This is a little bit of background information about Dutch beers, but even if you didn't like the article, you will love the beers. Enjoy your drinks! Proost!
