Beer boat
One of the things in Utrecht city that are rather unique are the socalled wharves’ cellars. Cellars underneath the road but facing the canal. Originally they were used for storage but nowadays they are often turned around into cafes and pubs. The beer is supplied in the most practical way i.e. by boat.
