Brouwerij 't IJ
Its label with an ostrich egg is a visual pun, as IJ and 'ei' - the word for egg - sound the same in Dutch. East of the centre, close to Artis Zoo, in a former bath house beside a windmill. A small-scale brewery where delicious beer in several varieties and strengths is brewed and sold - at a bar - on the premises. The beer is available at some specialist beer shops, and is of high quality and, in some cases, alcohol content. Internationally renowned!

Biertuin
Oktoberfest-style biergarten, so expect long tables and a wide variety of bottled beers available. It has a nice atmosphere during warm summer evenings. Try the Hamburger Deluxe or chicken menus. And come early, as it is often crowded. Reservations cannot be made, but you can wait outside with a beer until seating is available.
