Brouwerij 't IJ
Amsterdam, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Brouwerij 't IJ brews organic beer at Funenkade in Amsterdam-Oost, in a former public bathhouse beside the De Gooyer windmill. It has been one of the city's defining independent breweries since the mid-1980s, and the tap room stays true to that origin: bare tiled walls, long shared tables, strong beers like Zatte and Struis poured from source, and simple bar snacks around €8. The terrace under the windmill is one of the best places in east Amsterdam to spend an afternoon, and the crowd is largely locals who cycled here rather than visitors who planned it.
