On a budget, Brouwerij 't IJ still earns its price.
Beers ~€5; optional tour ~€11
The anti-Heineken — real, characterful beer in a no-frills tap room beside a working windmill, full of locals on a sunny afternoon. The catch: it's a tasting room rather than a slick tour, seating is limited and spills onto the pavement, and it's a tram ride east of the centre.
