’t IJ presente: TOUR DE BOK!
From the 1st until the 18th of October Brouwerij ‘t IJ will tour through the Netherlands with its beloved IJbok. We will visit various Dutch cities and its lively pubs. At each pub we give a free round of IJbok and say cheers to autumn.
Autumn is not that bad, with IJbok.
A snot nose, rain on the bike and delay due to tree leaves on the rails; all inconveniences that come with autumn.

Tabrooms temporarily closed
Dear guests, friends, family,
Due to the coronavirus, we decided to immediately close the doors of our tasting rooms in Amsterdam. The health of our staff and our guests is always paramount, and we can best guarantee this now by closing the tasting rooms.New items in the IJshop
A navy-white striped T-shirt, basic white and IJ socks are available on our webshop. The shirt’s are made from high quality soft cotton. Perfect for a stroll around the Amsterdam Canals, but of course also to be worn somewhere else.
18 years IJwit
It’s early 2002 when Kaspar Peterson, the founder and first owner of Brouwerij ‘t IJ, decides that it’s time to brew an extra fresh beer for the summer. Session ales and IPA’s where at that time not yet commonplace in the Netherlands, so he decided that it has to be a white beer in Belgium style: IJwit was born.
From bathhouse to brewery
The bathhouse at the Funenkade, where we brew our beer, opened its doors in 1911. But how dit we get there? We have to travel back in time to found out, time for a history lesson!
Amsterdam tap water: great for beer
We just open our taps and that wonderful water goes straight into our tanks.
New beer: Red Rye Double IPA

Floris gaat Down Under
Floris heeft niet eens zo lang bij ons gewerkt maar hij heeft een onvergetelijke indruk achtergelaten – en dat komt niet eens door zijn polo. Floris gaat op reis en de polo arriveert snel in onze webshop. Veel plezier in Australië Floris!

It has a wonderfully strong personality but, with just 4% abv, a soft side too.
