In the Middle Ages, Gouda was known as the beer city.

 Around 1470, Gouda had 200 breweries that produced 15 million liters of beer per year.

Stop by Den Gouwen Aar. Ask for a bottle of Gouds Kuitbier, brewed according to an old recipe. Brewer Jan Damen was once based in the Den Gouwen Aar building, when this alcoholic beverage was the city's main industry. 

Or take the walk 'Along the Gouda Beer Quay.' This route can be found in the Explore Gouda web app. The app allows you to explore the city at your own pace. The web app features walking routes through Gouda with lots of information and images!
