The Heineken Experience is a museum about Heineken beer and its brewery and is located in Amsterdam.
The building was built as the first Heineken brewery in 1867. It was in use as a brewery until 1988.[1] In 1991, when part of the establishment was torn down, the Heineken Treat and Information Centre (Dutch: Heineken ontvangst- en informatiecentrum) was opened in the remaining building. In 2001 the name was changed to Heineken Experience.[2]
The museum features "rides", interactive exhibits, and two bars (with three glasses of Heineken covered by the entry fee). It also gives an insight into the company's history and brewing processes through the years.
The Heineken Experience is an Anchor Point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.[3]
The museum was closed in October 2007 for repairs and is due to reopen in the summer of 2008.
