Rooftop

    You’ll start with our 1.5-hour during, self-guided tour through Heineken®’s oldest brewery. During this tour, you will learn all there is to know about our heritage, the brewing process, and much more. The tour ends in the Best ‘Dam Bar, where you can enjoy two perfectly chilled beers. Afterwards, you’ll take the special elevator up to the rooftop, where you’ll learn more about the function of the former “Moutzolder” (malt attic). On our terrace, you can enjoy one of the best views of Amsterdam while having another fresh Heineken® beer.

  • Do I need to book a separate timeslot for the rooftop?

    If you've already booked a combination-ticket (Heineken Tour® + Rooftop), you don’t have to book a separate timeslot for the rooftop. You can access the rooftop approximately 90 minutes after the starting time of your Heineken® tour.

Heineken® Silver

  • What does Heineken® Silver taste like?

    Heineken® Silver is brewed at a chilled -1°C, resulting in an extra-refreshing lager with a less bitter taste and a crisp, subtle finish that’s effortless to drink.

  • How does Heineken® Silver taste different to the original Heineken® beer? What ingredients are different?

    Heineken® Silver features all the same pure, 100% natural ingredients people love from our original recipe. What makes Heineken® Silver different is the ice-cold lagering process. By brewing Heineken® Silver at -1°C, more cold haze is allowed to form and be filtered out. This removes proteins and rough-tasting tannins, leaving a delightfully refreshing taste that’s accessible and easy to drink.

  • Is the Heineken® Silver brewing process different to Heineken® Original?

    Heineken® Silver is made with a uniquely different brewing process to our original recipe. By brewing Heineken® Silver at an ice-cold -1°C, a cold haze is allowed to form, filtering out more proteins and rough-tasting tannins. The result is a fresh, crisp finish that’s easy to drink.

  • Which markets is Heineken® Silver launching in in 2022?

    Heineken® Silver is launching in 19 markets, including Albania, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It will also launch in Norway during 2022 for on-trade outlets.

  • Why is Heineken® Silver a lower ABV than Heineken® Original?

    With a lower ABV of 4%, Heineken® Silver is an easy-to-drink, extra-refreshing beer designed to be more accessible for more consumers.

Wheelchair

  • Is the Heineken Experience wheelchair accessible?

    Yes, but... the Heineken brewery is a historical building and unfortunately, this makes it difficult to make it wheelchair accessible.
