Off to Amsterdam for a few days with the leader of the opposition,  just wondering if anywhere sells decent beers.

So much choice so little time ;-)
Below a few favourites of mine.  All very very good beer selection. Some do food which is excellent too.

As Said this is the few I specially like but there are many many more excellent watering holes.

Most sites also in English.

Enjoy!

I'd highly recommend Brouwerij 't IJ (http://www.brouwerijhetij.nl/?lang=en) which was already mentioned, although I'd try and get there on a sunny day, as most of the drinking is done outdoors. 

Also, if you accidently found yourself in the Red Light District, check this place out: Brouwerij de Prael (http://deprael.nl/en_GB/homepage/).  There is a separate shop and brewpub, so be sure to find the brewpub.

Have a great time!  I'm not jealous at all - Honest.
