Heineken basically owns this airport, but a couple of hours to walk around allowed me to produce a complete list of options. A key exception was that I was able to identify Erdinger, which is available in cans in a couple of shops and is not owned by Heineken or any large corporation.

When you first enter the gates area by the duty-free store, there is a large open restaurant called Salon that has two bars, each week, just the standard variations of Heineken.

Where you split off toward gates AB and C is a restaurant called Eataly that offers Peroni.

Throughout the airport, there are small convenience stores like Vizzit that have Heineken as well as a couple of pilsners by Hertog Jan (Natural, and their Grand), and occasionally a Leffe Blond Ale.

By B15 is Dammers Tap, the closest thing to a Craft Beer Spot, as there’s a selection beyond the others, including Affligem, Sol, Desperados, Lowlander, and a Birra Moretti. And there are also four taps available: one Texels (Jutters Bock) and three Heineken (Extra Cold, regular, and Mokum 750). All owned by Heineken, apart from Lowlander, which had a non-alcoholic IPA on the day I took this inventory.

Just next door, a little shop called Grab&Fly by B15 had an Erdinger Weiss.

Between C9 and C10, you will find café communal. They have three taps on draft and a limited supply of bottles and cans.

Just nearby at C12, a small shop identified as Kiosco offers Heineken on tap and in cans.

Out toward the D gates is ParkCafe, which advertises burgers and beer but has a pretty thin selection of Heineken; regular in cans and draft, extra cold, and a Morietti.

Not many options the further you move into the higher D gates.

Unsurprisingly, Heineken is heavily represented outside the airport as well, but craft options are out there around Amsterdam and even more so around Utrecht.
