A 1920s nunnery on Cornelis Troostplein where the kettles sit behind glass, the beer never travels farther than the tap, and the burgers earn their place.
Brouwerij Troost has brewed inside a preserved 1920s monument on Cornelis Troostplein since 2013, a building that once ran as a nunnery and school. The kettles stand behind glass at the back of the room, so the pilsner in your hand was made meters away.
Barts Boekje files it among the De Pijp essentials, and Tripadvisor reviewers rate it the best of Amsterdam's craft breweries to actually sit in.
Who would hate it? Tickers chasing rare guest taps. Troost pours Troost, plus burgers, bitterballen, and a weekly pub quiz; it is a neighbourhood brewpub, not a bottle share.
High ceilings, long communal tables, and the brewhouse glowing behind glass where the altar logic used to run. The courtyard terrace is the warm weather move, and iamsterdam lists it among the city's essential brewery visits.
The house range spans a crisp pilsner, an IPA, a weizen, and seasonal one offs, mostly around 6 euro and never fresher than here. Yelp reviewers praise proactive, fast service, a genuine outlier note for Amsterdam.
Order the IPA with the house burger; the kitchen runs above beer hall standard per Tripadvisor. Skip cash, the bar is card only.
Neighbourhood couples at dinner, after work tables sprawling toward the terrace, and quiz night regulars midweek. Foursquare logs thousands of visitors with the beer and the building as the repeated highlights.
