In het jaar 2000 is Bierbrouwerij Volendam, voorheen Brouwerij het Veulen, gevestigd in Volendam. Bierbrouwerij Volendam brouwt haar bier op ambachtelijke wijze met traditionele hoge gisting op fles en 100% natuurlijk zuiver. De huidige eigenaren, met ervaring in de foodindustrie, horeca en detailhandel, bliezen de brouwerij in 2017 nieuw leven in. In de Lupinestraat vonden zij de perfecte mogelijkheid om de brouwerij verder uit te breiden onder de juiste omstandigheden. Een pand met een rijke geschiedenis. Hier ligt de bakermat van het Volendamse Garnalenconcern Klaas Puul. Na een grote verbouwing brouwt brouwmeester Erik Spratte sinds 2020 #uisbier in deze nieuwe Brouwerij. Rondleidingen zijn op zaterdag en zondag om 13.00 uur en 15.00 uur op aanvraag beschikbaar.
