Top Comments of this video!! :3
Regarding the pilsners, Hertog Jan is often regarded as the most crowd pleasing. Different people have different taste. The east likes to drink Grolsch, with Hertog Jan as second most popular. The west like to drink either Amstel or Heiniken, also with Hertog Jan as second choice. The south drinks Bavaria or Jupiler with Hertog Jan as the follow up. There are also areas where Hertog Jan is the number one. So all and all, you can never go wrong with it.

Fun fact: the Dutch "Bok"- beer was originally based on a style of beer brewed in Einbeck, Germany (in the local dialect pronounced as "Oanbock"). It is somewhat heavier in alcohol than pilsener and reddish/brown of colour. In Dutch, a "bok" is a billy goat or buck, so on the label this animal is often showed. But it is traditionally a German beerstyle.

Grew up and studied in the Netherlands myself. In the category 'Pilsener', in my opinion, Hertog Jan is by far the best one. Also some interesting beers you might try for a possible next episode: 'IJwit' from 'Brouwerij 't IJ' (Brewery from Amsterdam, you can get it in every supermarket, Albert Heijn definitely sells it), Triple Karmeliet (Beer from Belgium, also sold in most Dutch supermarkets, be careful, it's a strong one) and Leffe Blond (Also from Belgium, sold in most Dutch supermarkets, especially good in Summer time). Living abroad now, and watching this video makes me realize how much I miss those amazing beers, haha! Proost!

Fun game with la trappe we play in the netherlands. We call it "trappie op trappie af" (wich translates to: going up the strairs, going down the stairs). Trap is the dutch word for stairs.
1. you get all the la trappe beers twice
2. you order them on alcohol percentage from low to high and then back to low
3. you drink them in that order

On the "Gaia" beer by Oedipus, which says "Treat your mother right", Gaia is the name of a Greek Goddess of nature and of the planet. You could call her Mother Earth. So the bottle calls upon us to treat the planet - our Mother - right 😊
Update: @shottglass6334 points out a wholly different layer of meaning. The name of the brewery is Oedipus. And in Greek mythology, Oedipus killed his father and married his own mother, even having children with her. He did not know they were his parents, as he was abandoned at birth, but still. "Treat your mother right" gets a VERY different meaning this way.
Nice one, brewery! And tip of the hat to @shotglass6334!

La Trappe Quadripple is indeed not one you usually drink a lot of (if you order a beer at the club you get pilsner). Usually craft beers in general you drink like 3 to 5 of in an evening, and usually all different ones. It's more of a at home with friends/family or in a cafe you sit down at a table kind of drink.

Heineken is probably my least preferred one, but you didn't try Klok beer, specifically served luke warm. That's the true class experience
