The tasting room is well appointed and the outdoor patio area is pretty large. They primarily brew organic craft beers leaning towards Belgian influences. The beers we had were spectacular.

The beers I tasted were without exception novelty beers, with overly fruity, herby or bitter tastes. Get your pilsener right and other basics right, first! The food however was excellent. Troost has gone full vegetarian on their burgers and this was the first time in my life I tasted that vegetarian burger replacements have a future. Texture and flavours were spot on. Wouldn't mind coming back for the burgers and will accept that the beers are not as I would like them.

There were a good variety on tap, except for one time they were literally out of everything but we found something else that we liked. I tried the IPA and the Honey beer and both were very crisp and fresh. They had a menu with little bites but we didn't try any. It's a nice spot to stop for a beer after a long day of walking and sightseeing, and I could see this as a nice spot to meet with friends after work if you're from the area.

I was expecting it to be a little spicer than it was--so I added some of their hot sauce which is excellent. The one thing I didn't like about the sandwich is they use American cheese. There are SO many amazing cheeses out there--I'll never understand why any restaurant--aside from fast food ones--use American cheese. It would be a lot better with real cheese. Their fries were good, and their bartender Sean is attentive and makes good conversation. I'll come back, but I'd order something else next time

We sat down anyways and chose a table outside to watch the show of life. Beer was good. Had to try the local staple, bitterballen, and was not impressed. Lacked flavor and half of them were empty. We were amazed on how one could fry something like this and it be empty, yet it keeps it outer shell intact while being empty inside. Very odd. Double burger helped this place out but it wasn't a home run. Fries were just ok. I wouldn't eat here again but may have a beer here for the people watching. Oh well.

This place brews its own and you can't go wrong ordering any of their drafts which can be: Witte Antonia, De Blonde Barbier, or the De Manke Monnik. You can try them starting with the Antonia and work your way to the Manke or the other way around (either way it will be a pleasant day). The bar food is legit, I had raw sausage Ossenworst, Huisgemaakt Bierbrood (beer bread), and Bitterballen (toasty croquet made with beef). Have a seat outside facing the canal which allows for a delightful people watching view and relax.

The bartenders were super nice and friendly (always a pleasant surprise) and were talking to the other regulars about what they did last night and what they plan to do after work. Super casual. It seemed like they were also very knowledgeable about beer so if you're not sure, you can consult with them to get recommendations. The beer was great and there were a lot of options. The location is near the park and also near a tram stop if you want to take public transport after your beers (or beer tour, in my case). I hope to do the beer tour again when I'm in Amsterdam and therefore come back to Craft & Draft.

Wooden tables and finishing, black chalkboard, 40 taps and a pleasant bar man who is knowledgable about beer. This is a good place for a pint and there will be options to fit whatever taste you have.

The food was delicious, the beers were excellent, and the service was wonderful. The young man who took care of us was probably one of the best dining experiences we've ever had - you could tell he was not only thoughtful and attentive, but he knew the beers extremely well and even was nice enough to give us a peek at the brewery. We tried all of the beers they had on tap. Our favorites were the Tripel, the New England IPA, and the Russian Imperial Stout, but everything we tried was delicious. Even the Session IPA, which I normally don't go for, was impressive. The food was tasty - we started with the Charcuterie Board, and for dinner opted for the Catch of the Day (Cod) and the Steak. The charcuterie board was very unique, with house pickled vegetables, a nice whole grain mustard, and four different types of meat. This included rabbit (so tender, our absolute favorite), deer (native to The Netherlands, it wasn't quite to our taste, but still cool to try), and two others, I believe a pork sausage which was really good, and one more meat that I don't recall. For our mains, the steak was so impressive. Perfectly cooked (we requested medium rare) and juicy...it was probably one of the best steaks I've tried. The fries were nice, as was the salad that accompanied it. The cod was the star of my dish - cooked perfectly, buttery and falling apart at the touch of a fork. The potato triangle that came with it was nice as well. The spinach salad was nice, but as I'm not really a fan of fennel, I tried to avoid that. The foam/sauce served with the cod was alright but wasn't really necessary given how nice the cod was on its own. My dining partner enjoyed the little fried prawns more than I did. I would highly recommend checking out Pension Homeland for dinner, beers, or both. I'm a little bummed we hadn't opted to stay at the hotel there, as the building was nice and had a beautiful harbor view, including the Martime Museum ship. The feel of the building was a little outdated, but in a pleasant and cozy way. I definitely would have been drinking their delicious beers at the bar or playing pool at the end of each evening! Thank you to the thoughtful young man who took care of us that evening and provided a great dining experience. Do yourself a favor and include this as a stop on your visit to Amsterdam.

It comes with four samples, plus a taster size water and a baby bowl of peanuts. What a nice touch!

I gave the scotch away though. Too peaty for me. All in all a very cool place to hang out. If I had longer time in the city, I would've returned for sure.
