“Used it few times already. Great selection of overseas beer. Acceptable pricing, especially when you fill your box with some discounted but still good beer. Easy ordering, safe packaging and quick delivery.“

“Mooie bruine kroeg, leuk terras. Grote en gevarieerde bierkaart. De eigen bieren en de Bredase bieren zijn een meerwaarde. Er komt indien gewenst iemand uitleg geven bij de eigen bieren. De bediening is vriendelijk maar onderbemand bij drukte, dus is het logisch dat geduldig zijn hier de boodschap is.“

“30 taps. Generous beerflights (5 * 15cl). About 20 rotating taps, always some US & CA beers, besides other countries. There seems to be most of the time an Evil Twin beer on tap. Almost all the time 10 of the tapbeers are high quality.“

“Update of score: Used a fair few times now. Good selection, sometimes finding something that the other Dutch online shops dont have. Like that they are linked to untappd for easy cross checking, and they have a big focus on US beers with special go live alerts on big brewery drops. Allot of the time I can find those locally here cheaper, but still a nice option to have. Delivery costs very good to here in DK, and beers arrived well packed and within 2-3 days. Overall really impressed.“

“I ordered from here Sunday 22nd March 2020. The site is extremely well laid out, clear pricing, best before dates listed, photos of all beers, nice descriptions and a link to Untapped reviews. The site works well, it's fast and very informative, delivery was very reasonable and packaging good and it arrived within 3 days. Another thing that I liked was that you get an automatic discount depending on how much you spend. The focus is on beers from the USA and prices I think are amongst the keenest that I have seen anywhere. I really like these guys, I only have a one quibble. So you can buy beer that is close to or beyond the expiry date, I did this with 2-3 beers, however despite the dates being listed on the website the actual dates on the bottles/cans received was much older than that indicated, this didn't worry me too much as I didn't purposely go for particularly delicate beers, I have no issue with a TIPA being a little out of date when it is really strong as I really don't worry if the hop intensity drops as I like the combination of maltiness and hoppiness anyway, but it might annoy some.“

“Ordered late at night 8/1/2020, delivered in UK 11/1/2020. Great service! Very well packaged. Not that expensive for delivery either. Very clear on BB dates. Very good selection with lots of stock I've not seen online elsewhere. Easy to use website, though to be able to select by country would also be beneficial. Ordered mostly Russian and Estonian beers plus a few others from new (to me) breweries. Definitely a positive all round experience and one I'll probably order from again.“

“Langs gegaan toen ik aan het winkelen was met vriendin in Breda een tof café op de markt er waren 30 bieren op tap waar zeker de helft van buitenlands was zoals canada, usa,zelf ne Rus de lijst van bieren op fles was ok maar ni echt speciaal ik en mijn vriendin hebben op het terras gezeten er was wel een misverstand omdat het bier dat ik had besteld op was en de tweede bier dat ik besteld had was er al ni meer maar de bediening heeft het netjes op gelost en heeft zelf een bier aan geduid dat super was ik ga hier zeker mee langs gaan een gezellig en goed café en de Taco waren goed“

“I was really sirprised by this small shop. Well, small, it appeared small. Inside the place was packed with beers, interesting line of cans but also some small local breweries. Very friendly owner / staff. I definitely need to go back to check it out in more detail. Worth the 15-20 minute walk from the train station I'd say.“

“Primary focus is on US and canadian beer. Lots of stuff not seen elsewhere Selection seems to be updated and renewed quite often. Scored a few "rare" US-state ticks from here. Prices are decent, discount given according to the size of your order and they have sales regularly. Layout is straight forward, easy to navigate. Shipping is fast and secure. Ordered on a Sunday evening, received the box on Wednesday!“

“This webshop features lots of US and Canadian beers that I haven't seen elsewhere in Europe. Great selection with around 800 beers to choose from. Their hoppy stuff is generally not as fresh as I would have liked, and the prices are a bit on the high side, although comparable to my home country. If the selection rotates, I'm buying here again.“

“Perfect place to drink and taste some US craft beers from draft. The bottle list is rather boring, with mostly Belgian beers, and the usuals. The taps (30 in total) have 20 rotating ones and all of them are from US or Canada with a few from Pohjala and To Ol. As stated the prices are quite high (which is to be expected from these imports) but the beer flight helps to get 5 beers for 17,50 in tasting glasses which were indeed (also stated before) quite big for tasting glasses. Service was fine, if a bit chaotic (but terrace was filled to the max). And the food was actually quite good. When I was there they had beers from Hoppin' Frog, To Ol, Pohjala, Perennial, Founders, White Hag, Prairie, Evil Twin, Bilboquet, Mike Hess, Aslin, Kent Falls, Collective Arts and Hi-Wire (among others).“

“From the looks and feel, I was a little afraid I would wind up in a bar offering nothing but the Belgian macro and family breweries and some boring mediocre Dutch impressions of the above. While part of that was definitely true, and most of the offerings on the menu are very common Belgian beers, they offered quite some new Dutch craft breweries as well. The house beers weren't half as bad as I had feared, much more bitter and hoppier than the Belgian offerings. As I had already sampled the 4 house beers in a sample flight, drinking full glasses of the other draft beers would have been unwise, so I politely asked if I could get a sampling tray with the 3 other beers on draft I hadn't had before, which was no problem. Very kind staff, the food looked decent though we only had a plate of mixed hot and cold snacks, which was also good. Having had a huge breakfast at the hotel late in the morning, and a lot of beers the day before, this was all my stomach could handle. ;-) Definitely worth the visit, decent prices, and they are, maybe a bit late compared to some other, catching up with the Dutch craft beer scene as well. Maybe even more so than the other bars who would more focus on international craft than the Dutch scene.“

“Visited for lunch on a Saturday, best to make reservations here, as it can get very busy. Both downstairs and upstairs were completely full. With only two waiters serving the top floor, it took a while between getting handed the menu and ordering, but this was perfectly fine, cause it took me a while looking up all the beers I didn't know by heart. Half of the menu was rather boring Belgian stuff, like Leffe, Jupiler, etc... But oh boy, the other half! Man, so many good beers! Lots of US and some EU import, good ipas, stouts, etc... Man, what a tick fest! They offer sample flights, though the samples are pretty big (I'm guessing 15cl), so the price is accordingly (€17.5 for 5 sample glasses). But if you choose wisely, it's definitely worth the cost. Really good quality beers!“

“It's a bit of a walk outside the city centre, and not the nicest walk if I might add. But, the bar is cosy enough and I bet in summer time it's a pretty crowded location with all the hipster-businesses (like a writing workshop place, an organic bakery, etc...) in sea containers on the site. Alas only 4 taps available, with just two of their own beers and two guest beers. Service was rather poor. A friendly chap, and even him only speaking English, I don't mind. But he was terribly slow. I ordered a glass of each of the draft beers, "yes, all at once, then the stout can warm up a bit by the time I've drunk the other beers", and by the time I had looked at all the bottles on the shelves and in the fridge, he still had only poured one beer, but two glasses of it, as I was there with my wife and he wrongly assumed we both wanted all the beers instead of sharing them. Oh well. Bottles were priced ok if you wanted to drink them there, but there was no take away discount, so for a shop, the prices were really high. (starting at 4.5 per bottle and quickly upwards). So I ended up buying only one bottle to take home. There is supposed to be a brewery nearby, but all we could see was the container-tasting room. I guess it's worth the visit if you're staying a couple days, with all the bottles in the fridge. But if you're just for a day in Breda, I think there's enough to do in the city centre, beer wise.“

“Modern spacious, open and at the same time busy / full interior. Large square bar in the middle of the bar. Too big maybe. Not too crowded when I visited but still a bit slow service. IPA from tap wasn't very fresh. Beerlist is ok, a decent variety in styles although I miss DIPA's and stouts. Maybe not for their usual crowd? Wasn't very impressed with this place tbh.“

“This shop is located on the southern edge of the centre of town, so if you viewed Breda as a clock face it sits between 5 and 6. It's on a street called Van Goorstraat and is quite easy to find, I reckon just 7-8 mins walk maybe less from the Grote Markt should get you there. We visited on Tuesday 26th September 2017.

Inside its shall we say rather busy, the majority of the shop is given over to beer but there is some wines and spirits to your right as you go in. The beers are set out by country with Belgium taking much of one of the far walls and the Netherlands one of the others, central islands of beers are hampered a little by many boxes of beers/stock scattered here and there on the floor.

The prices were very good and the selection was great, particularly the Dutch beers and nice to see a great focus on local breweries. I tried to strike up conversation with the owner but found him to be pretty unwilling to engage. My one way discussion querying whether a beer I'd picked (it was whisky cask aged) was Islay or not was almost completely one way. However boxes not put away and a grumpy owner aside the shop was very good.“

“We visited Zeezicht Tuesday 26th September 2017. It is fairly easy to find as it is located at the far end of the market square, it is quite close to Café de Kleine Wereld which is at the other end of the market square.

We sat outside soaking up a little autumnal warmth on one of the tables immediately outside the café, Interestingly there are lots more tables in the square itself which belong to this place. Inside its smaller than expected, one large square room, you enter from the corner and the bar is straight ahead. On the far wall is a list of the beers on tap, inside here there were a number of tables and chairs but as indicated it was nice outside so most folk were taking advantage of the good weather.

The beer choice was excellent and rather impressively the cards attached to the food menu which listed the beers on individual cards was bang up to date. I had a Hoppin' Frog Re-Pete 2 Loz had a Brewski Mango DIPA both were lovely. We also had lunch here and the food was very good.

For me this was only really let down a little by the ambience and lack of character. The staff were friendly, service swift it was just a touch clinical and lacked the touches that make Café Beyard so great, however for great beer and a great location it ticks the boxes.“

“*Live rating, Just arrived in Breda walked from the central station through the park onto JF Kennedy Straat and first left the bar is ahead on the right.

As for the Café itself, there is a covered area outside, inside it has a very comfortable homely feel about it, nice touches such as little rugs on some of the small tables, soft glow lighting from grape like bunches of globe lights. A row of pastel fabric covered simple stools up to the vertical slatted wooden bar which incidentally takes up most of the right hand side invites you to sit here, however we chose one of the rug tables. Simple red tiled flooring, a beer list off to the LH side on the wall. Enamel signs, some neon beer brewery advertising signs above the bar, completed the look.

The service was top notch the joint owner spent a lot of time chatting with us explaining about this place, he was a lovely man. We arrived quite early so it was quiet. Beer choice was excellent we had their own beers, both of which were very good. If I had a bar that I wanted to be my local in Breda then this would definitely be it, it is a superb place. “

“Visited with Caesar and completely agree with his review. Nice looking interior, looks like an old tavern indeed. Their own beers: bad, really bad. Unfortunate to say but they were so bad they should be ashamed to have this on tap and they should be even more ashamed of their prices for this crap! Avoid unless desperate for the ticks.“

“Located in the old brewhouse of Drie Hoefijzers, now AB InBev, which it lies directly next to. A bit boring surrounding with a couple of ugly modern domestic blocks. Inside is absolutely stunning though, as they used the old brewhouse to build the bar in and through. Absolutely wonderful. For beers, its the same old Bier & co list you can see jn lots of places, which is not bad, but usually only gets you 1 or 2 ticks at best. Also, it hardly rotates, at least in Utrecht. Prices are high as well. But everybody should at least go check out the wonderful industrial interior and have the Drie Hoefijzers Klassiek on the side.“

“Beautiful interior of a medieval tavern. But thats about the only thing that is good Im afraid. Their own beers are basicly horrible, buttery and vegetables. Served in dirty glassware. Also, way way way overpriced. Almost 5 euros for an own brew is simply a crime. Avoid.“

“Nice cosy place at the end of the not so cosy Grote Markt. Sat in one of the couches overlooking the main square. Almost 30 taps of which about 10 are the obligatory ABI beers, but the other 20 are a beatiful collection of pretty rare stouts and IPAs for Dutch standards. Bottled list is almost absent, which is a shame for such a decent tap selection. Service was good, but could be more knowledgeable I guess. Must visit.“

“Big bar, beatiful decoration, old style with a modern twist. with some of their own beers brewed at place, in "St. Joris Brouwerij", located in the basement (at least they said so). Centrally located, big terrace, seems that is more focused in eating, and beer is just there because people need to drink something. Weak house beers, at least what we tried, with some other usual suspects on tap, mainstream ones if i remind well.“

“Visited a while ago but apparently forgot to add my place rating. I can understand why as I wasn’t very satisfied with my visit. The beerlist was disappointing, mostly the usual Belgian suspects and a couple of Dutch brews that I had already rated. Staff isn’t very knowledgeable to say the least. Becasue it’s so easy to find in Breda’s pub area you can easily pay a short visit, but I wouldn’t recommend it.“

“May 18th 2017. Surprising tap list with a couple of thick US imperial stouts on and some very solid IPA’s. Easy to find close to central station, close to other pubs as well. Nice long bar, places to sit indoors and out. Hmm I cam see myself visiting this place moe often. Although it would depend in how fast their beers rotate. -- Visited again on June 30th 2017. Taps have indeed rotated (makes sense after 6 weeks but still) and there were new awesome US beer from tap I have not seen anywhere else. I will definitely visit more often! Up from 80 to 90.“
