Brouwerij ’t IJ
Not surprisingly, all the beer they sell here comes from Brouwerij ’t IJ. What you might be surprised about is how big that offer is! I have to admit that I was mainly familiar with their wheat beer and IPA, but they really have something for everyone. And the terrace is also a big plus!

Few beer brewers in Amsterdam stand on such historical ground as De Prael Brewery.
