Krux Brouwwerf. Amsterdam

At this nano-brewery and freehouse, there’s no pretentious waffling about the craft – just a beer list whose guest ales are constantly refreshed (and refreshing!), and whose own small-batch brews have earned it a loyal following. The once-dilapidated building, originally the Dutch headquarters of a colonial coconut-oil producer, has been lovingly renovated; there’s also a terrific terrace.
