Brouwerij 't IJ

Frommer's Review

In addition to the usual features, this slightly down-at-the-heels proeflokaal has a small brewery and a fascinating location -- it's in the unused De Gooyer windmill in the city's old harbor area. You can take guided tours of the beer-making facilities (Fri at 4pm), then taste the brewery's Pilzen or Mug Bitter brews, or the slightly stronger Pasij or Zatte brews. Columbus, a hearty wheat beer that's reddish, flavorful, and fierce (almost 10% alcohol by volume), is the new brew of choice among many Amsterdam barflies.
