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).

You’ll also learn about the best way to taste and enjoy your Heineken beer.

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.

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.
