Fred's Top Picks

My top picks are the pubs that are "must visit" should you be in Amsterdam. They are a cut above the rest.

Fred lives in Los Angeles but often travels to Amsterdam.. You can follow him on twitter as @FredWaltman or read his twitter feed below

Note that we regularly update what constitutes a top pick so places can be relegated from the list if their beer range dips or there are other significant changes.
