We walked out to the Heineken tour from Dam Sqaure, which was a nice 30 minute walk! There are trams available to get you there sooner!
Heineken Lager Beer was first brewed by Gerard Adriaan Heineken in 1873.
In the early years of Heineken, the beer won four awards, which are still mentioned on the label of the beer bottles:
- Medaille d'Or (English: Gold Medal) in Paris in 1875
- Diplome d'Honneurs (English: Honorary Diploma) at the International Colonial Exposition in Amsterdam in 1883
- Grand Prix (English: Grand Prize) at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889
- Hors Concours Membre du Jury in Paris in 1900
Heineken Horse!
Only 4 ingredients! The beer is made of purified water, malted barley, hops, and yeast. In 1886 H. Elion finished the development of the Heineken A-yeast, which is still used in the brewing process today.
Each person receives 3 free beers during the tour!
Watch the Heineken ads on their website! They are cute!
Heineken support UEFA Champions League Football (Soccer to us)!

Cool table that put Heineken coasters under our beer when we set them down.
