Collection: Brouwerij 't IJ

‘t IJ Brewery has been brewing quality beers since 1985.

 It all started when musician Kasper Peterson looked for an official outlet for his experimental home brewing. As a member and composer of the band I, he fell in love with the Belgian style beers while touring south of the Dutch border. Since similar beers were not yet brewed in Amsterdam, Kasper decided to produce them himself.

 Searching for a suitable building to start an official brewery, he stumbled upon an old municipal bath house in disuse. It still had its water supply and drainage system, easy-to-keep-clean tiles and steam generator. It was, in short, the perfect building for a brewer. As a bonus, it had the biggest wooden windmill of the Netherlands right next door as the ultimate landmark!
