11 X Breweries in Amsterdam to Try Out with Friends

Brewed by Women BAR

Gebrouwen door Vrouwen started out as a hobby project of sisters Do and Tessel de Heij and grew into one of the best-known craft beer brands in the Netherlands. Naturally, you are the first to taste the latest brews in their own bar in Amsterdam. From refreshing blonds to surprising seasonal specials: everything here revolves around beer. An added bonus is that you can regularly discover new flavors that are not yet available everywhere.

Valhalla Brewery & Taproom

For a good craft beer, Walhalla Brewery & Taproom in Amsterdam-Noord is the perfect place. This brewery draws inspiration from Norse mythology, which is reflected in the names of the beers. In the taproom, you drink the beers straight from the source, and the selection changes regularly.

Brewery 't IJ & Café Struis

Brouwerij 't IJ is the largest brewery in Amsterdam! You can taste their specialty beers in the nice tasting room (with a large terrace!) and what you find on tap changes regularly. By the way, Brouwerij 't IJ also brews beers in collaboration with other national and international breweries.

Craft & Draft

On the Overtoom, you can visit Craft & Draft for a delicious, cold beer. Upon entering, the forty beer taps at the wooden bar and the modern interior immediately catch your eye. Nice touch: the selection of international beers changes every week, which is reason enough to keep coming back. They also have a small shop where you can buy beers to drink at home on the couch.

Poesiat & Kater

Poesiat & Kater Amsterdam is your favorite place to go if you love beer, beer, and good company. Let's be honest, who doesn't? ;-) A restaurant in the historic Oostergasfabriek building with a large terrace where you can soak up the sun all day with a home-brewed beer. Order some tasty treats from the drinks menu, and your sunny afternoon is guaranteed to be complete.

From Prael

Not only a good brewery, but also a really fun one! Here, they grow their own hops and grain (or at least, as much as possible). Besides being a brewery, De Prael is also a social workshop: people with a psychiatric background help brew delicious, craft beers here. Beers that you can come and taste in the tasting room, just like at 'IJ!

Two Chefs Brewing taproom

What started as an experiment by two chef friends grew into a brewery that has become an indispensable part of Amsterdam. At Two Chefs Brewing, everything revolves around creativity, and you can taste that in the beers. From refreshing blonds to distinctive IPAs, the selection changes regularly. In the taproom, you can sample various beers and immediately discover why so many beer lovers are fans of this Amsterdam brewery.

Oedipus Brewing

Four friends who love beer so much that they started their own brewery. That is Oedipus! The names of the beers are fantastic. Think of Panty, Mama, Papa, and Lekkerbek. Oedipus beer is available at many great places in Amsterdam. And at the brewery in North, you can also enjoy a nice lunch and a bite to eat at the new Sassy's.

Troost brewery

Troost Brewery started with three beers: Blond, Weizen, and India Pale Ale (IPA). They've since expanded their beer selection, so there's something for everyone. Even if you're not a beer fan, by the way, they make (Troost) gin here!

The 7 Virtues Brewery

Here they brew craft beers that are just a little bit different. They use various herbs and spices during the brewing process. This brewery is also a workplace for people for whom a regular job isn't a given.

The Beer Factory

De Bierfabriek may be a very small brewery, but it's definitely one to include on your list. They brew beers here, not pilsners. Three kinds of beer. And if you try them at De Bierfabriek, you can also enjoy a delicious snack!
