Yes, there are quite a few
brouwerij 't ij - a short tram ride from the center, works very well if it is a nice day outside as they have a big seating area outside
Oedipus Brewing - Also a short hop from central station, either by bus or by the free ferry and a bit of walking (I've personally never been, but have tried many of their beers)
In de wildeman - Right in the center, they have 17 taps which are constantly changing, and about 200 more bottles, they even have an app for android/ios to see their tap menu
Beer Temple - 35 taps and many more from bottle, mostly american beers, but also many beers from other countries
If you are happy getting outside of Amsterdam, Haarlem (roughly 15 minutes by train or so) also have 2 nice options:
Het Uiltje - A nice small brewery, their bar is about 10 minutes walk from Haarlem train station
Jopenkerk - A brewery inside a church... they are much more commercialized than all other ones, but have a decent variety of beers nonetheless, it is a short walk from Het Uiltje so you get 2 in 1
