About Brouwerij Troost

In 2013, we brewed our first beer in our very first brewery in Amsterdam’s Pijp neighborhood. Since then, we’ve been making award-winning beers and soft drinks, and any leftover beer is turned into gin and jenever. Our breweries are located in beautiful historic buildings in some of Amsterdam’s best spots. We make everything ourselves, using locally grown ingredients – better for our beer and better for the planet. Not the easiest way, of course, but definitely the most fun!

BEERS

We brew our beers ourselves, with a lot of passion and joy. From our regular classics to seasonal beers and special batches – everything is brewed on-site and goes straight to the tap. This way, we maintain control over freshness and flavor, and can experiment with new recipes.

Whether you come for a crisp pilsner, a hoppy IPA, or something special from our barrel-aged range – you’ll always find a beer that suits you.

SOFT DRINKS

Beer isn’t the only thing we make ourselves. Together with the soft drink specialists from Saru Soda, we develop our own lemonades. Made with real ingredients, without artificial additives – and with care for the planet.

Saru Soda works circularly: they use organic ingredients and ensure their production process is as sustainable as possible. For example, they use solar energy and find uses for their waste, such as making eau-de-vie from leftover quince.

Perfect for those who don’t want beer, or as a mix with our house-distilled gin.

SPIRITS

In our brewery in De Pijp, oak barrels that were previously used to age American bourbons are stored. We fill them with barleywine or distillates from our own brewed beers, allowing the drinks to absorb the flavors and aromas of the wood and bourbon. It takes a while to see results – the spirits age for a minimum of six months!

We develop our spirits together with distillery De Tweekoppige Phoenix on the Zaanse Schans. The base is always malt wine from our own brewed beer, which provides rich and unique flavors. We continuously experiment so that our gin and jenever keep evolving in taste.

Local and Fresh

At Troost, we aim to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible. That’s why we avoid long-distance transport and brew everything locally, delivering our beers to local retail and hospitality in Greater Amsterdam with the help of our sustainable partner. Whenever possible, this is done emission-free or using biogas.

This not only reduces our CO₂ emissions but also allows us to maintain control over the freshness of our beer. That way, our beer always tastes as if it came straight from our brewery – and that’s when it tastes best.

Our Circular and Social Mission

Of course, we pay attention to our emissions, but we do more: we brew all our beers locally and avoid unnecessary transport. For distribution, we work with a sustainable logistics partner who delivers across Greater Amsterdam – emission-free or using biogas. This keeps our CO₂ emissions low and allows us to maintain control over the freshness of our beer. The less a beer has to travel, the fresher it stays – and you can taste that. By keeping everything close by, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also ensure our beer always tastes as if it just came straight from the tank.

Tours

Of course, we’re happy to show you how we make our beer! You can join a tour of our brewery at the Westergasfabriek. Every Saturday, we organize a full tour through our stainless-steel jungle, and of course, you can take a can of beer home with you afterwards!
