# About this activity
Discover Amsterdam's craft beer culture on this beer-tasting cruise, where you'll sample three distinctive brews from Brewery 't IJ whilst cruising the city's canals. Step aboard an electric boat at Damrak and taste your way through the bright, citrusy IJwit, hop-forward IPA and rich Zatte, each one introduced by your host who explains the brewing traditions and flavour profiles behind every pour. As you glide past Amsterdam's landmarks, you'll learn how a new generation of independent brewers revived the city's beer scene. Traditional Dutch snacks—cheese, sausage and nuts—complement each tasting.
The experience concludes with a 20-minute stop at Brewery 't IJ beside the iconic De Gooyer windmill, where you can soak up the lively brewery atmosphere and browse their merchandise. Whether you're a seasoned beer enthusiast or simply curious to explore something new, this sociable 105-minute journey offers an engaging way to connect with local craft beer and fellow guests.
