About the brewer
Brouwerij 't IJ has been brewing quirky Amsterdam speciality beers since 1985. Musician Kasper Peterson founded the company after he became acquainted with Belgian beer styles. As a member of the band Door Mekaar, he regularly performed in Belgium and developed an above-average interest in the beers of his southern neighbour. Since similar speciality beers were hardly ever brewed in the Netherlands, he decided to do it himself.
The beer that he initially brewed in a squat soon caught on. In his search for a larger location, he stumbled across the vacant Municipal Bathhouse Funen. A building with an extensive water supply and drainage system and a steam generator, and thus ideal for brewing. Adjacent mill De Gooyer does not belong to the building but has served as the ultimate landmark since the beginning. Not long after brewing began, the bathhouse also had its own tasting room and terrace. Because the brewery on Funenkade could no longer meet the demand for IJbier, we opened a second location in January 2013. In 2015, Brouwerij 't IJ and Duvel Moortgat entered into a collaboration for support in the field of, among other things, brewing technology and distribution as well as financial strength.
