Bart Obertop - Brouwerij 't IJ

Brouwerij 't IJ has been brewing premium beers since 1985. It all began when musician Kasper Peterson was in search of an official outlet for his experimental home brewery. As a member and composer of the band Door Mekaar he fell in love with the Belgian-style beers whilst touring south of the Dutch border. Because those types of beer were not being brewed in Amsterdam at the time, Kasper decided to produce them himself. On his quest for a suitable building to found his brewery, he stumbled upon a former municipal bathhouse that was no longer in use. It still had its water supply and drainage system, easy-clean tiles and steam generator. All in all it was the perfect building for a brewery.

As an added bonus he had the largest wooden windmill of the Netherlands right next door as the ultimate landmark. His groundbreaking work paid off and 't IJ gradually became the largest and best-known brewery in Amsterdam. After more than twenty years Kasper decided his work was done. Bart Obertop and Patrick Hendrikse took over from him and continue to brew the distinctive premium beers 't IJ is known for.

Because demand far exceeded supply, a new brewery was opened in 2013, only 700 meters away from the original location. The original brewery on the Funenkade now produces all the beers that are consumed in the bar located in the same building. With the new facilities at the Zeeburgerpad they can fill a significantly larger number of bottles and barrels. They are keeping up with demand a little better and are still able to offer a new, exciting, experimental brew every now and then.
