  1. If you want something authentic Dutch with centuries of tradition and culture, Heineken is your brand. Not a quality beer of course, the Dutch invented modern capitalism, branding and global export. It's moneymaker to be proud of and a beer to be a little bit embarassed about. Amstel is even worse. Basically there is pilsner beer (lager), Weizen and Belgian beers/special beers, which are usually from Belgium. Pilsner is done best in Czechia, it's origin, Germany with all the village breweries making usually fine ones, even extending to the East and South of the Netherlands but no further. In the UK and Ireland they have ales and stouts. Ale doesn't need foam to protect it's taste against oxidation and is served lukewarm, stout I don't get either, if I want a full meal I order food, not a drink. So there is the pilsner and (hefe) weizen, and there is Belgian beer basically. Pilsner from Belgium is nothing special though, that's like asking Italians to bake pancakes, they just don't care enough.
