Brouwerij Troost

Top choice in De Pijp


Watch beer being brewed in copper vats behind a glass wall at this outstanding craft brewery. Its dozen beers include a summery blonde, a smoked porter, a strong tripel and a deep-red Imperial IPA; it also distils cucumber and juniper gin from its beer, and serves fantastic bar food, including crispy prawn tacos and humongous burgers. Book on weekend evenings.

Its subsequent Amsterdam openings include one at Westergasfabriek.

Sustainable practices include using fully recyclable glass bottles (saving on power and water) that are transported in recycled boxes.
