When I lived in the Netherlands I was a little dismissive of its beer. There's nothing particularly pleasant about Heineken, Oranjeboom or Dommelsch and while Grolsch is drinkable it's hardly great. But these are all mass market beers made by huge international corporations and so there's no surprise that they are all pretty bad. But there are some truly great Dutch beers and like the best beers in other countries they tend to come from smaller, independent breweries.
It's now autumn and so when I went out to the Wildeman last night I thought a bock beer was appropriate. The Texels Bock on the tap menu was full flavoured, well balanced and very, very welcome.
It was a good start to a great evening. And when Tom Vest turned up and was handed the bag he'd left there the night before the bar's great status was reconfirmed.
