Brouwerij 't IJ (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌbrʌu.əˈrɛi ət ˈɛi]; English: The IJ Brewery) is a small brewery in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is located in a former bath house named Funen, next to the De Gooyer windmill. Its name is a reference to the IJ in Amsterdam, a body of water considered to be city's waterfront. The brewery was opened by Kaspar Peterson, a former musician, in October 1985 and was one of several small breweries that opened in cities around the Netherlands in response to consumers' dissatisfaction with beer brewed by the larger companies. It brews twelve standard beers and three seasonal beers, besides limited edition beers.2
