Excellent beer choice and lots of taps, plus friendly bartender who helped me find good beer bars in all areas of Amsterdam.

If you want to listen to loud drunk Americans, then this is place to go. Good beer selection. Terrible crowd read more

Absolutely will come back to beer temple. The guy that helped was extremely friendly and knew the menu like the back of his hand. Great atmosphere staff was so wonderful and the selection was phenomenal! Ten out of ten i will drink here again! read more

Beer Temple - Graham cracker stout and an IPA - Pubs Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Cool beer bar in Amsterdam came here a few times in 2018. It's refreshing to have a good beer selection

Maybe it was just the time of my visit or a clientele coincidence, but I've never ever ever felt so out of place in a craft beer bar. I walked into the grungy, dimly lit bar thinking, "ah yes, the perfect place to make beer friends" and left thinking "uhhhhhh??" about half an hour later. First I walked in and looked at the tap list. I noticed an open stool so I took a seat. Then a guy walked up -- because yes, I was the ONLY GIRL -- he was served before me. Eye roll. Then the bartender walked over and I asked if he had any local options. His facial expression told me it's a question he gets often and hates -- similar to when you ask me what year I am in school (high school sophomore...obviously). He told me it's an AMERICAN beer bar, so they only have two local Dutch brews. Both hoppy. Okay. I ordered both of the Dutch brews. They were okay. I would've ordered more but I didn't feel welcome at all. I now know there's way better beer bars in the city that serve local stuff. I'd say skip this place unless you really, really miss Stone, Bagby, or Brooklyn. read more

I come here every time I am lucky enough to be in Amsterdam. Never disappointed and always happy to find hoppy beer while in the EU

You like hoppy beverages of the craft kind? This is the place. Amazing selection (50 on tap, more on bottle/cans). Mainly American Craft-Beer orientated with some great other/local/intl added as well. Always good advice. Easy going and relaxed place. Amazing service. Great atmosphere to kick back and enjoy a craft-beer or two. read more

If you are beer fan, so this bar is absolutely for you. Cozy and authentic atmosphere of really American pub. More 80 on tap and 25 bottle beers you can try here. Nice and friendly bartender. Besides this pub is including in "more beer tour" Amsterdam. This is a bar crawl where you must visit 4 pubs in one day and get nice T-shirt. I got this one! :) read more

The absolute best beer selection I've seen in Amsterdam! I guess that's what you get from a place that calls itself an "American" style bar. But seriously, crazy beer selection from all over the world. You'll be able to find whatever you want, provided you're willing to pay. Most of the drafts were very reasonably priced, bartenders were great, and there's sidewalk seating! read more

Extensive selection of American beers, better than a lot of breweries in the States. We've been living abroad for the last 2 years and it's hard to get good American craft beer in France, so my husband loved this bar. They have beer on tap and beer in bottles (the bottled beer is more expensive and can range from 8-30€). The average for the tap beer was around 8€. They also have a good selection of snacks: local cheeses from Holland, and even American cheddar cheese. They also have charcuterie, chips and a decent selection of things if you're hungry. We spent 2 hours here on a rainy afternoon and it was a great place to grab a drink. It wasn't crowded in the afternoon, so we were able to sit comfortably and they have plugs if you want to charge your phone (they also rent phone cables / plugs for 1€, and they also have free WiFi. This was a great place to grab a beer, with a great selection from all over the United States. We would come back here again! read more

Beer Temple - Menu of bottled beers - Pubs Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

If you like great beer, good food, and a true pub experience then go here. Had a blast and will be back.

Beer Temple was just what we were looking for in Amsterdam. We were bored of all the normal tourist bars or pubs selling pints of Amstel or Heineken. I found BT on yelp and we made our way straight there. If you like craft beer then you will love this place. Literally hundreds of craft beer options split between bottled and draft. I got the chance to try several American beers that I had not heard of before. The barman was very friendly. Willing to chat and advise on beers tastes and origins. You could sample them all before buying and he even brought out a 400 euro bottle (yes for one beer!) called utopia for us to have a look at. Sadly I did not get to try it. The bar has free wi fi and a good area to sit outside and watch the world go by when it is sunny. If you like craft beer - you will love Beer Temple! The best bar I have visited in Amsterdam on my three visits so far. read more

This is a retrospective review of one of my favourite bars in the world - a place I've spent ridiculous amounts of time in over the years and I just can't get enough of! I may have been to Amsterdam around 15 times but I only discovered this place (thanks to my intensive researching wife) a few years back and have never looked back. These guys are all about the craft beer, in fact it's a complete mecca, temple whatever you want to call it to quality ales. On tap there must be 25 beers - ranging from the American greats, to rarities and enjoyable brews from Mikkeller and Brewdog amongst many others. Ok so craft beer is expensive but it's still cheaper/better beer than what you'd pay for a Heineken in the red light district. The bottle fridge is awesome too - I've enjoyed a large bottle of B.O.R.I.S.T.H.E.C.R.U.S.H.E.R from hopping frog many a time with friends. Even though it's slim there's still plenty of room in here and the back is a great place to grab a booth and play a game. Outside there's also seating for around 20 - making it the perfect place for a sunny day. The staff are knowledgable, friendly, pragmatic and also no nonsense - Dutch people and Dutch bar staff just rock! I can't wait to get back to the Beer Temple sometime soon - it'll be the first place I head to when I arrive in Centraal station. read more

Warning: if you want to drink as many Dutch beers as you can then visit their sister, Arendsnest. There might be a few on tap that particular day, but the main focus here is American beers. Haha, very funny... I don't mean Bud or PBR. =_= Although I always want to try local beers when I am traveling, I somehow ended up here both times I was in Amsterdam. The bartenders are friendly and it's easy to find something up your alley with 35 taps. It also helps that their opening hours are generous (seven days a week, baby!) and the location is very central. Unsurprisingly, the patrons seem to be mainly tourists, especially North Americans. Well, I fit right in and I can't blame them for wanting good beers. read more

Another good Amsterdam craft beer bar. Massive range of quality beers, with quite a few specials, limited editions, big bottles and the like. read more

This isn't a bad bar, just a bit misleading as you don't expect half the drafts here to be American beers. I guess it's kind of cool to see your local American breweries make it all the way out here but I wanted more local flavor and less of what I can already get at home. Anyway, the setting inside is a bit dark, but otherwise comfortable. This is a solid place to stop in for a beer and relax your legs for a bit from a day of museum and city sight seeing. 3.5 stars. read more

Mmmm...beer. We visited Beer Temple's sister bar, Arendsnest, and they told us we might want to give Beer Temple a try for an assortment of American craft brews. We took their word for it and were so happy we did. Beer Temple has a seriously impressive assortment of American craft beer and then some. We're from Chicago and live very close to Three Floyds brewery in Munster, Indiana. To our surprise Beer Temple had several Three Floyds beers...collaborations with Mikkeller that are available in the states but also a couple collaborations that we had never seen before. Super exciting. I guarantee that no matter what your beer preference, you'll be able to find something that suits your fancy here. Friendly, helpful bartenders and delicious salty snacks really rounded out our experience here at Beer Temple, highly recommend! read more

Cool spot in the middle of Amsterdam. Bring a beer drinker from Portland, this was one off top spots to visit on our first day of travel. It was great. We arrived around 2:30, and there were only two other people inside. Nice to have some room to hangout with our group of three. The beer selection is obviously AMAZING. We all tried local beers, and one from Belgium. Prices are good also, that you can try a few different kinds for a fun experience and not be out too much money. Also the meat and cheese selection is nice, and goes well while sipping on some beers. Also, great bartender! He was really nice, patient with our questions and attentive. read more

Cool place to go to drink some different beers. Now I know what a lot of Europeans think about when they hear the words "American Beer" crappy watered down tasteless garbage. Well, some beers yes, but this bar specialized in American micro brews. This is a totally different category than things like Miller, Coors, and Budweiser. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure they do not even have these beers there. You can find all the beers that they have one tap (~30) labeled behind the bar and all the beers they have in bottles (~100) along the back wall. The selection is always changing so that makes if even more fun to stop back often. The staff is always very nice and helpful if you don't know what you want. Me being an American, was pretty surprised on my first couple trips here. I could not believe that I was seeing some of the beers that I knew from home at little breweries showing up in Europe. The crowd here is pretty international but there are usually also at least some Dutch. This bar tends to be more crowded in the early evening that later on at night. read more

If you an American who is in Amsterdam on vacation, you can probably skip this stop. If you are not or you are an American living in The Netherlands and looking for a little piece of home then this is your place. I have actually been here before explaining my favorite IPA to someone and saying how you can never get it anywhere in the city and at that exact moment I saw a sign next to me saying they had it as a special that month. Fun little surprises like that are what keep me going back. If you follow them on Facebook also you will get to join fun events once in a while. In October of this last year they had a pumpkin beer tasting which was a lot of fun. Actually most months or weeks they have some sort of tasting or another. There is also a terrace if the weather is alright and the views are alright. It's a quick hop from Dam Square to get there by any means. If you're on the hunt for American micro brews you know where to start now. read more

If you are one of those beer lover, this is definitely a spot you have to check! I've been to many places with lots of different beers, but something like beer temple, I've never seen! The location is very small, but there are more than 30 taps!, walls full of beer choice, uncountable bottles, you can try almost every taste from every country. If it shall be refreshing, exotic or simply dark, they have what you are looking for. I was really impressed by its variety and sure is a place I will return once I am in A'dam. read more

Very simple. A wide selection of craft brews, most of it from the US, and at quite reasonable prices... maybe cheaper than in Boston... which doesn't really make much sense to me. Taxes maybe? Friendly staff, and knowledgeable. Willing to pour you a taste. They were more than happy to give us recommendations for other beer joints in the area, when were told them we were looking for a specific trappist beer. If you like beer, it's worth checking out... though perhaps it doesn't make as much since to visit if you happen to be from the US... Or maybe it does, because they had things I hadn't seen in my home market... *shrug* read more

My husband and I had a fabulous time at this bar. Before anything else I'm going to stress that this is primarily an AMERICAN craft beer bar. They do have Dutch brews and some other European beers, so if you're expecting a 100% Dutch bar, this is not it. My husband and I stopped in here on a late Wednesday afternoon as part of the More Beer Beer Tour (http://www.morebeer.nl/TOUR/) -- as an aside, I can't recommend doing this tour enough! Great way to try out some local bars and to tour the city on foot and trolley. Back to the bar...The bartender was so knowledgable and welcoming. A wide selection of American brews--pretty cool to see some of your local favorites across the world. Lots of seating room and larger tables on the second floor above the bar. Fun fact: the bathroom sink and urinal are 1/2'd kegs! read more

Nice selection of craft brews from around the world on tap and an even more extensive bottle list. They serve a couple Rogue beers, which is awesome since I'm based in Portland, Oregon, USA - where Rogue began, and I'm a huge fan!! This was a great spot to hang out for a few hours with free Wifi. It's connected with three other breweries in a close proximity creating a beer walk, which offers a free t-shirt if you get a beer from each. read more

Beer Temple - Prairie Bomb on draft! And Bible Belt - Pubs Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Some Amsterdam beer bars mostly focus on Dutch beer, which is understandable. Beer Temple, on the other hand, is a hardcore American-style beer geek's bar right in the heart of the city. If I was living in Amsterdam as an American ex-pat, I'd hit Beer Temple to help stave off homesickness. The Beer Temple is not a European beer bar....it truly does have more in common with the Toronado, Map Room or Redlight Redlight than anything in the Old World. It has that familiar, well-worn American craft beer dive bar feel, with totems of its inherent beer cred all over the place...it's a working love letter to America's craft beer scene. This place has Lost Abbey bottles coming out of its ears, and many other ridiculous American craft bottles I don't even get in Florida. They even have freakin' Three Floyds' Dark Lord. At an absurd price that I would never pay, mind you....something like 85 Euros for a bottle if I recall correctly. It's not THAT good. But they have it. Thankfully, they have plenty of other drafts and bottles at much more reasonable prices. I fought the urge to drink American, and went with the Mikkeller SpontanCherry Frederiksdal. Made with unique Danish Frederiksdal cherries, it ranks as one of the better fruit sour beers I've ever had, and that's saying something. Not cheap, but hey, at least it wasn't 85 Euros. And at least I didn't come all the way to Amsterdam only to order beers from California or Chicago. By any beer aficionado's rankings, a phenomenal beer bar. Just don't expect some authentic Dutch beer experience, as this is very much like stepping into a portal to America. read more

This place: wow. A really, really remarkable beer selection tucked into this crowded bar. Helpful tip: if you're American, you can get most of these beers back home. That being said, it's still totally worth your time. I hadn't tried MANY of these, and let's just say I have had a few beers in my day. (Seriously, in just 1 day.) Here's what I tried: Green Petrol black IPA, Tempelbier, Global by Nogne, CHRA single hop by Nogne, India Saison by Nogne. Okay, I guess I tried a lot of Nogne. I personally prefer hoppy beers, so some of these were just tastes. This bar hosts a lot of events, too. Check it out on quirky days, like Halloween or St. Patrick's Day. (Yes, they are mildly celebrated in some areas.) But don't start out your beer-ventures here if you're a visiting American -- go to a more local-beer-serving location, like Bierproeflokaal in de Wildeman. Cheers! read more

As an American living in Holland, I must say I've tried my fair share of European beers. However, the one big hole in my heart was for the American microbrews which I have been longing for for quite some time: Enter 'Beer Temple' *cue orchestra* Let it be said first off that when you approach ANY (read: the avg. person) European about an American Beer bar, the first thing they bring up is the HORRIBLE quality of american beer. While I agree with them about all the big beers (ie: Bud, Coors, Miller), I then bring up 'microbrewers', and they're eyes turn into huge question marks coupled with "Theres MORE to American beer???" Yes my friends, GOOD american beer is alive and kicking!!! And the Beer Temple is the best selection you will get without exploring the states yourself! Its been a bit since I was there (about a couple of months), but I remember there being over 30 taps (always changing) and hundreds more to choose from! From your 'steam' to your classic IPA, to Wheat, Hef....etc....You know it from the states, its probably here....well, except the 'big beer co's' that is ;) But thats the best thing about this place ;) read more

It's an OK place if you want to experience a dirty pub kinda thing. Yeah, they have a CRAZY number of kinds of beers but I don't really know if I would be in the mood for sticky tables any time I want to have the option to pick and choose from their menu of beers. I don't want to be unfair so I'll just say this: I was really tired and wanted to stop by here before I headed home to grab a couple of beers. Maybe that's why the sticky tables bothered me that much. But yeah, their menu of beers is really, truly, seriously CRAZY! :) read more

This is truly an amazing bar in Amsterdam, they have a ton of options from all over the world. Many of their beers they have, you can get in America, so it is perfect for Americans visiting and wanting options instead of the typical Heineken, although nothing wrong with drinking Heineken, but why when you have options here, amiright? The staff is also nice and helpful. read more

Everyone writes this off as being touristy or only having American beers...neither is true. You won't find any Dutch beer here since the owner owns another all Dutch beer bar (Arden's nest) but you will frequently find great craft beer here from all over the world. Lots of very rare hard to find beers that you can't get out of very specific markets. They also host a lot tastings and are very knowledgable. If you are a fan of great beer this is the place...if you want Budweiser or Heineken go back to Dam Square! read more

I really want to give Beer Temple five stars but it's not quite there. If I were judging simply by the beer list it would get six or even seven stars. Phenomenal. As an American beer snob in Europe for the first time in nearly twenty years it was nice to find a place that didn't just serve Heineken and Amstel. No offense to the Dutch brewers, they're just not my cup of tea. I greatly enjoy beer from all nations, however there is just something about a good American microbrew, eh? Needless to say, my husband (who was in Europe for the first time ever) found this place and nearly wet himself he was so excited. On our first night in Amsterdam, we decided to stop at this place early in our evening exploration of the city. It's located in a nice area that was about a fifteen minute walk from our hotel. We found it easily and were greatly impressed not only with the taps but also the bottle selection. It's hard to find a beer bar in America with such an impressive list. There were over twenty taps and I don't even know how many bottles. The bottles are listed on a chalk board on the wall and divided by brewery, which include the state. It was fun to see Jolly Pumpkin (from our city of Ann Arbor) and also some other good Michigan Beers. We were disappointed at the lack of Vermont beers (not a reason to take off a star, though... seriously? the list is freaking amazing). My husband drank Southern Tier and I tried the house brew - Tempel Bier. I may be spelling that incorrectly. So, here's where the star comes off. My husband specifically asked about Dutch microbrews and the bartender kind of snottily stated that this was an AMERICAN beer bar. But after Kris ordered his beer and I was being my usual non-commital self I asked, "What's the Tempel Bier?" The bartender explained that this was the house beer - brewed by the owner to try to introduce them to the American style of micro brew. Um... wait - didn't you just say you didn't have any Dutch microbrews? The bartender was kind of a buzz kill. He was the only one working and while I understand that it was the Dutch soccer finals he spent the ENTIRE time upstairs with his friends watching the match, never came to check on us or see if we wanted seconds, and probably should have told Kris about the home brew, no? Also, the website boasts a selection of Scandanavian beers. They had none. If you're in Amsterdam and want to try some exceptional American microbrews you should definitely stop in here. Hell, even if you don't want to try them you should go here - you'll fall in love. Just don't expect exceptional customer service. read more

If there is one thing I could change about this bar, it would be the location. Not that there's something tremendously bad about it, but all that street noise and traffic just doesn't give it the cozy atmosphere you have come to love from off-beat Amsterdam bars. And, off-beat it is. The beer selection is terrific, almost reminding me of the Flying Saucer back in Raleigh, NC. A lot of the beers seemed to be on tap, too. I didn't stay around for more than 3 glasses, though, but I am sure I will be back. It was Halloween night, so the staff had cheese eye-balls in platters. Speaking of cheese, they had Guinness infused cheese to be had with beer. It was delicious! That wasn't the only kind of cheese, too. Not much in way of snacks here, so be sure to pick a cheese you would enjoy with your beers. Service was trademark Amsterdam. But then, the only thing you would want is a quick beer, and they don't disappoint there. Seating is ample and group friendly. Ambient noise wasn't loud and many a good conversations were had. So, which beer should I try next? read more

Good music, relaxed atmosphere and an impressive selection of American beers. If you're looking for something more Dutch, go to their sister bar "Arend's nest". Nevertheless worth a try even for the skeptics. For some weird reason (place is fairly small) I could always get a seat, even on the weekends. read more

This is one of the best bars for Kraft beer loves in town! I came here as part of a beer festival and loved this place. I would particularly recommend Norwegian Norge O beer and the M.O.L.E imperial Russian stout in particular was spectacular! If you like beer that tastes like a mix between Christmas, chocolate, tiramisu and espresso - this beer in particular is for you. Their beer selection in general is excellent and it's not just American beers as I would take from some other reviews. Their American Kraft beer selection however is excellent and they have a large Brooklyn brewery sign outside. For a local beer, I'd recommend the Big Fat Double 5 by Het Uiltje. They have a number of different beers including Scottish Brew Dog and Danish Brett Rocking Brewing as well as local beers and plenty of American. If you like your beers, this is a must try! read more
