February 3rd 16:00
Amsterdam's best independant beer brewery, and it's just round the corner from my pad! One of the highlights of the Oosterdok Islands of Amsterdam, Brouwerij 't Ij has been making delicious brews since 1985 (almost as old as me!!!).
Fridays at 16:00, the brewery opens their doors for a tour of the brewery. This is finished with a free taste of one of the beers of your choice, and obviously in our case a more comprehensive 'scientific' examination of the rest of the brewery's repertoire.
The tour costs EUR 4.50 per person. They take maximum 25 people per tour, so be sure to RSVP early. As always, a 'maybe' RSVP can be made. I may have to ask for confirmation a week beforehand to specify the actual final numbers.
If you can't make the tour, no probs, we start our Amsterdam Pub Crawl at the brewery after the tour at 18:00, so we can meet you up from then.
