I was wondering if there are any German towns that are close to Amsterdam and worth a day trip. If so please help. Don't mind going to any German town just for some good beer. ;)

By train you can easily daytrip as far into Germany as Cologne and Düsseldorf. I hope some one on here knows more pretty small towns in that area but if not I could recommend to visit Borken (http://www.borken.de/sehenswertes.html), although it's quite rural there and doing it by car would be much more worthwhile... A typical and famous beer in that part of Germany would be an Alt-Beer, which is a dark, almost black but Lager-like beer (as compared to a Stout which is much more creamy and thick).

We enjoyed Aachen. A lot of history in that town. Also Trier...don't recall how close to A'Dam.
