De Bierfabriek

Huge place (empty at 1pm in Sat right after opening) with their own beers on tap (8 of them)

Modern, gorgeous looking and very big. I visited on a Thursday evening, and it was absolutely packed, just way too many people. You had to wait in line to be seated, you had to wait a long time until it was your turn to get serve, you could pay. The staff was working like crazy but just too much time not just waiting but whilst waiting you needed to spend all your attention on trying to get the staff to notice you. Kind of ruined the experience for me. They have food including a vegan burger and a vegan board that looked interesting. I had the patience to order only one beer, their pilsner which was surprisingly decent, decent by NL standards, below average for DE. Okay prices especially for Amsterdam, about 5 beers on tap when visited.

As described by others - a huge and very busy beer hall; wait for to be seated, with table service only. As we were placed at a table, with both hands cupped, the waiter swirled a load of money nuts on the table. We were surprised and enjoyed them, shells on the floor like everyone else. The waited swept them off the table if you left without doing soi! Like old -fashioned spit and sawdust floors! We tried all the beers and enjoyed all, but especially the pilsner. But if you are someone who prefers wildly hopped and very bitter beers, you may be disappointed as they were all smooth, fruity and sweetish. Just what I like!

Bit of a scruffy and boisterous place, peanut shells everywhere. Four house beers came in the tiniest flight I have ever scene, maybe two ounces of each, which is fine because they were not good, unless you like butter. The chicken was tasty but scrawny, give me those massive growth-hormone-fed American birds any day. Young servers were trying hard and did a pretty good job.

Modern and spacious brewpub with only three (unremarkable) beers on tap. It wasn't crowded on a thursday afternoon, but I can see this turn into a tourist/student/hipster tumult in the evenings.

Very crowded on Saturday evening. Kind of german style place, not far from the center. Very dirty with nuts everywhere, not sure if it’s some special event or regular thing. Service is adequate. Selection was limited to their own beers. Didn’t try food. Beer was reasonably priced. The only reason to come here is to tick the brewpub, otherwise, don’t bother.

Visited on 04/07/2017 - a bit hidden in a small traffic free alley close to the center. Beer selection is not big but 3 own beers, Nice inside, tables outside weren’t very easy to sit at. Inside seemed nice.. The beers I tasted were OK, not special, not bad. Seems a nice place to have fun with friends but if you wan to tick beers there are better place, however, since it is close to the center, it’s worth going there. 10 for the service because I was told the Nero had to put on draught again, so it could take a few mintues, which it did, but then I got it for free.

Modern and minimalist interior. Brewhouse in highly visible place. Free peanuts available, so you won’t leave this place hungry. Unless you have a peanut allergy. Main food is ok. Beer is below average for Amsterdam brewpubs. And choice is very poor, three standard beers and that’s it. Of those only two are brewed on site, pils is made somewhere else.

Upscale and open bar. Quite big, especially for the area. Wifi and cheap flights of the 3 beers available. Beer isn’t that great although food looked good. A quick stop for the flight for the ticks is worth while.

A large and spacious brewpub. Minimalistic interior: glass, concrete and steel. Bright and clean. Many beer bars in Amsterdam are rather cramped, this one is certainly suitable for a large group. A mezzanine near the bar counter offers five tables with "private" two tap system. Nice for volume drinkers! When you arrive, there is no information about what’s on tap. Ask for the beer menu. Only three beers available, all rather dull. A flight is 3 x 10 cl for € 2.50, which is cheap. Dull beers and funky music but worth a visit. It’s a brewpub tick! (Visited November 19th 2016)
