We visited the brewery on a very wet Thursday and were surprised to find it very full with many American visitors among the patrons. The 5 sample taster glasses were a brilliant introduction to the range of beers available with the strengths varying from 4 to 9% and at €8 at very reasonable cost. The décor is "functional" but the... More

After visiting the Maritime museum I was thirsty and seeing the windmill in the distance I Knew it was the Brouwerij and the place for me. The Windmill looks stunning on the banks of the canal from the outside, inside is a different story all that is missing is the sawdust. The two beers that I had were more like... More

2 euros for a half pint of the finest beer you could sample, on the banks of a canal. What's not to like?

Amsterdam is full of great pubs but Brouwerij't IJ is one of our favourites. It is a bit of a walk from the main drag (probably 20min or so) but its simple enough - just head for the big windmill! There is a large inside area and an outside terrace too (weather permitting). On our last visit the sun graced... More

A funny thing happened to me on the way to the forum, I lost my enthusiasm for beer. If you travel to this bar, word to the wise, take the bus or metro, it really is a little to far out to walk. Architecturally, quite an imposing structure, with thatched walls, over looking a canal & house boats, the view... More

This is a great place to grab a beer and enjoy the people. Everyone seemed very cool when i was there and easily able to start conversations with. The brewery is the only windmill within Amsterdam if I’m not mistaken and for this reason alone it is worth a visit if not for the beer.

We followed the pub crawl guide on the tripadvisor iphone app and found this place. It took 20 minutes to walk there from Centraal station. It oozes character and has some of the best beer Ive ever tasted - the IPA was particularly good. We found the staff friendly and helpful. A good start is to get a taster selection... More

We shared a taster set of most of the beers on offer and enjoyed some interesting conversation with a local researcher/historian who had popped in for a refreshment after visiting the local supermarket before he rode home. We decided to have a snack and another proper beer but there was no bread on offer and I think this is the... More

We love craft beer, so were very enthused about finding this pkace. Hop on tram 10 and its so easy. Id like that female bartender on march 13th to come to bloomington in and get a lesson in friendliness--this was beyond dutch aloofness. She was downright mean and served as such. I wanted to use their wifi, but she purposefully... More
