The Experience
History tastes better with a pint in your hand. Discover the liquid gold that made Haarlem famous.
During our Pub Crawl, we won't bore you with dry facts. Instead, we hop between the city's most legendary "brown cafes" and hidden micro-breweries. You'll learn the scandalous history of Jopen beer, why Haarlem was the brewing capital of the Netherlands, and hear stories of smugglers and local legends.
What's Included?
- 4 unique local craft beers or jenevers
- Traditional Dutch pub snacks (bittergarnituur)
- An entertaining, deeply knowledgeable local guide
- Exclusive behind-the-scenes brewery stories
Not a beer fan?
No problem! You can swap the beers for local ciders, wines, or craft sodas. Just let the guide know when you arrive.

We meet at the historical Waag building. We kick off with a classic Jenever tasting and dive straight into the beer history.
The Hidden Brown Cafes
We duck into a small alleyway to find a cafe from the 1600s. Time for crispy bitterballen and a hoppy IPA.
