The best Dutch lager

[James]

It's Belgian but I agree, great stuff



It's a lot lot better than carling

It's not, it's just a bog standard light lager, same as the one in your OP. Not for me, all they do is bloat you and lack any taste.

Heineken. Without shadow of a doubt the best lager.

Even better when drank at the brewery. Perfection.

Seems okay wioth me, but most lagers will give you a headache if you drink enough. I blame the fizz.

German ones don't

The one in Amsterdam?

Budels or Heineken for me.

Edit: Is La Trappe Dutch?

It originates at a French monastery. Whether or not a Dutch company has stolen it I cannot say.

Remember two things

1. The Trappist beers ... based on the charter from La Trappe in the NW of France

2. Bloody Kronenbourg who call their gnatspiss lager 1664, the year the Trappist charter was agreed and signed.

So judge it by flavour, taste and fun.

They're mostly shit, their IPAs and blond beers are bloody excellent though. Anything by Brouwerij 't ij or De Prael is usually a corker. Two Chefs Brewing are good too.

From the stuff that has reached the mainstream, Grolsch is the best!

Glad to see you made it!

Brand Zwaar Blond is the best I have tasted over there. Strong stuff though.
Can't get it over here so last time I was over brought a few back with me to keep me going.

Ha yeah, it's great, thank you for the recommendation! Can't really avoid their beers, they're on sale everywhere. Even Albert Heijn (Tesco equivalent) sell pretty much everything they brew in bottle form.

Holsten brewed in this country? then yeah it will, German brewed beers in Germany will not give you a headache is what I should have posted
