Do you recomend the Heineken beer factory tour in Amsterdam? |
Travel Info Have you gone on this tour? I have plenty of time for other things to do but this one seems like fun! Is it? Travel Tips It is fun, I am an Amsterdammer myself and loved it. But very few people know there is another brewery in Amsterdam that does a tour. Brouwerij 't IJ Funenkade 7 does a tour every friday afternoon at 16.00 hrs (not advertised on English Website ) No reservations can be made just show up and get in line. 20 people max., I only recommend this for people who really love high quality micro brewed beers. It is in an old windmill, which once also was a public bathhouse, the beers are akin to Belgian Beers as brewed by monks for centuries, Warning !!, These are Real beers not the usual commercial crap ( 5/6 % ) or exports to US ( 3/4 %) so even the Lagers are likely to be 8/9% and special dark beers up to 13 %. So take it easy. Look it up on the internet, or ask the tourist office. Source(s): Amsterdammer and refreshing cold good beer lover. Other Travel Tips i reccomend a tour of any beer factory anywhere anytime anyplace I've been there with friends and it's really fun. But select the late afternoon tour if you can. I became a Heineken fan after the visit. travel writer/ been there yes. free beer and you can get glasses and other souveniers that can only be found there I think. It is fun (and it is popular too). Heineken is brewed in Zoetermeer, but started in Amsterdam (1868). So it has a rich history and it is interesting to see al things about brewing beer. I think it is better than many other beer factory tours, so go and enjoy! It costs 11 euro. You can park your car in the parking garage, but that is costly. There are also tramways close (16, 24). There is a canal boat stop near the Heineken experience. It is in the Amsterdam neigbourhood De Pijp, which is also nice to visit. The Heineken experience is closed on mondays. |
