Amsterdam is home to Heineken, and has a large scene of breweries and tasting rooms. The tasting room of Brouwerij ‘t IJ is located, just like the brewery itself, in the former bathhouse under a authentic windmill. Enjoy their selection close to its birthplace on the terrace as ost of the brewery’s beers are available on tap here. Very practical: Brouwerij ‘t IJ is within walking distance of Inntel Hotels Amsterdam Landmark.
The tasting room closes at 8pm, and you can take your beer tasting to Bar & Brasserie Werkspoor at the hotel, or dive into Brewery The Eeuwige Jeugd, just a short stroll away from the windmill.

Several hotspots near Katendrecht are the Fenix Food Factory, de Kaapse Brouwers and Theater Walhalla.

The Hembrug site, part of the harbour district in Zaandam, is a monumental industrial estate. The terrain has a rich history as a location for the production of firearms, artillery and ammunition. In 2003, the doors of the production site were closed and nature took over. Since 2014, the terrain is open to the public again and various entrepreneurs work in the renovated buildings with an industrial appearance. Among other things, you can now visit events, festivals and restaurants here.
