is it like Oncy's list of aceness?
"Doc Mac in liking shit beer as well as shit Tayto shocka"
I didn't know Doc liked the Southern Tayto???
Wow, I can see some sort of taste intervention will be required here.
Doc - I prescribe the following to be taken immediately...
That should sort you out.
I like good beer lads. But anytime I've been in Holland where the beer choice is often like Oranjeboom, Amstel and Heineken, I go for Amstel. I used to go over to Katwyjk quite a lot and this is what my host drank. So I did too.
Katwijk is a very odd place. Oranjeboom is terrible but a very rare sight.
Amstel is still rubbish here. No idea if it's different muck to what you get though.
That Sierra Nevada pale ale is lovely, as is their IPA. Had eight bottles of Doom Bar last night, & very nice it was too.
Heineken in the UK tastes like piss, tap or bottled. Heineken on tap in Amsterdam is fucking beautiful.
Draft Doombar is a very lovely thing.
It's not particularly difficult to find decent beer here.
A lot of it isn't actually Heineken, especially in the tourist bars

That's what has me shaking my head at people thinking the choice is between Heineken, Amstel and Oranjebom
Yeah but Katwijk.
I have no idea where that is.
Is it some shithole with crap pubs?
It's an odd religious fishing village which is now also a sort of seaside resort where Germans and Doc Mac go on holiday. Dirk is from there.
What's big and yellow and goes back in time?
The number 30 to Katwijk.
Well, despite not know anything about it, Katwijk has now gone up in my estimation.
🙂
Is that why it tastes better?
Whatever it is will still be an improvement on Fosters, Carling or Harp.
I've never actually drunk in any tourist bars in Amsterdam, I refuse to pay over the odds for beer usually anyway, & if it means I can avoid drunken & stoned English dickheads in the process, all the better.
I did find moving from bar to bar with all the customers, the dj & some of the staff odd, as one bar closed & another opened, but in effect it was still the same night carrying on in there! The local lad said it was cos of licence laws.
It's that still the case?
It's that still the case?
My missus's auntie is from there so we used to go there. Your characterisation is right. Still, got me a signed ball from Dirk Kuyt from a raffle in a do in the Katwijk Young Boys club. I quite like raw herring with onion too so it's all good.
I don't care where it is, Heineken will never taste beautiful
I really like a good well crafted organic IPA, especially the ones with the really shiny labels so I can see the reflection of my ironic beard and oversized horn-rimmed glasses.
It is even more parochial and strange when you have a bit of inside knowledge. So a bit back from the sea is Katwijk an Rhine, and the seaside bit is Katwijk an zee. To anybody else it's all just Katwijk, but the locals will say, I'm from Katwijk an Rhine/ Zee and don't fucking confuse me with the other lot thank you very much. The ones from Katwijk an Rhine think they're quite superior to the zee lot who they see as a bunch of common ragamuffins. And the zee lot say the Rhine ones are all inbred. As it happens, they're all inbred.
