  • I recently came to Amsterdam brewery on a Saturday for one of their free tours and tastings (they do this every Saturday from 1-5pm). Although my visit started off sluggish by the time it was over I was glad I made the trip. My friend and I walked in at around 345pm on a Saturday and immediately the whole atmosphere seemed confused. Nobody was there to greet us and tell us when the next tour was or where we would even start the tour. I finally had to walk in to the retail store to ask and was told to speak with one of the bartenders; I spoke with the bartender and was told a tour would start in 15 minutes. My friend and I ended up waiting for around a half hour for the tour to start, this seemed unorganized to say the least. As soon as our tour started our visit immediately got better. A group of about 15 of us were taken to the back of the brewery, shown all the brewing equipment and taken through the brewing process from start to finish. It was cool to see the steps of the brewing process; our guide was very knowledgeable and did his best to keep the group engaged. Once the tour finished our group took a seat at the bar and pitchers of each of their beers were passed around for us to have a little sample. Their spring bock, Boneshaker IPA, and 416 wheat beer were the best of the bunch (I also enjoyed their raspberry wheat, but my friend didn't). Everyone is given a small sampling cup to fill up, our tour guide made sure there as enough beer for everyone to get a taste and even encouraged us to have more than one sample (If you like a particular beer ask them for more and they will oblige). The tasting definitely salvaged our trip. Once the tasting was done people were encouraged to sit at the tables near the bar and hang out with some more free beer, nobody was rushed out or told to leave. The place itself is in a bit of an industrial area. The bar area is beautiful with lots of natural wood, aging barrels lined up on one wall, tall ceiling and windows that provide plenty of natural light. I could definitely hang out in this space for hours on end. They do have a small retail store that is open late so if you are in need of beer and your local beer store is closed you know where to come. Their retail location offers a deal of 25 bottles for $32 which is a great for some local craft beer. All in all I enjoyed my visit to Amsterdam brewing; the staff was very friendly and accommodating although a little more organization would work to their benefit. Next time I will show up early for a tour and hang out a little longer with some free beer :-).
