Koelschip

The best 'Dam view

Koelschip
When the Amsterdam brewery was still in use, the top floor or “Het Koelschip” was used to cool the hot wort before adding the yeast – simply by opening the many windows and letting the cool Dutch air do its wonders. Today, our top floor offers you a great view of the city, thereby making it our coolest place to host a dinner or party.
