オランダ語特有のアルファベットにijがあります。発音はアイで、またIjとはオランダ語で「ダチョウの卵」の意味があります。このアイ醸造所はアムステルダムの港にある銭湯を改装して作られたパブ併設の醸造所です。オランダでは有名なのではないかと思いますが、シンガーソングライターのカスパー・ピーターソンによって開かれ、自分がここで醸造所を開くまではアムステルダムはビール砂漠であったと言い放ち、ラベルにもこだわりのデザインが垣間見えます。パブの開店時間も水曜日から日曜日の午後3時から8時までと変にこだわっています。
't IJ was founded in 1984 in a converted bathhouse in the city's dockland by songwriter Kasper Peterson. IJ is the waterway fronts of Amsterdam harbour and the pronunciation is IJ is "ay". It is virtually identical to the Dutch for egg, which explains the ostrich and an egg on the pub sign. In the sign's background, a windmill standing in a desert suggests that Amsterdam was beer desert until Kasper started to brew.
Its brewery tap only opens from 15:00 to 20:00 from Wednesday to Sunday but, all of the beers regularly on draught. It's a golden opportunity to sample beers which are all too hard to find elsewhere. To add the fun, the bar has collection of 2,000 empty beer bottles from all over the world. Food is limited to drinkers' snacks, but children are welcome and there are selection of board games to keep them happy.
