Tasting rooms (Proeflokalen)
In the 17th and 18th centuries Amsterdam was the centre of the European beer and spice trade, and out of this grew a tradition of distilling 'medicinal' spirits, that developed into a full range of liqueurs. The proeflokalen specialise in these alcohols, and they have a disturbingly large range of beers and traditional liqueurs that you will never have heard of.
