The Heineken Experience is a brand experience within Heineken’s oldest brewery, in the heart of Amsterdam. In 1988 the former brewery closed down, because we got too big for our boots. Today, the historical building serves as a venue where you can learn all about Heineken heritage, the brewing process, our sometimes crazy innovations, sponsoring and the story behind the star. You’ll also learn about the best way to taste and enjoy your Heineken beer.

We’re introducing a new twist to your Heineken® experience with HKN x You. We use Heineken® Silver as a starting point and customise your Heineken® the way you like it.

- Double Hopped: uses two types of hops to boost flavour and aroma, creating a bold, complex taste that hop lovers will enjoy.

- Dry: has a crisp, clean finish enjoyed by beer enthusiasts who prefer a lighter and less sweet taste.

- Super Dry: offers a crisp, super-refreshing taste with a delightful emphasis on dryness. It's perfect for those who love a clean, light beer experience.

- Smooth: has a velvety, soft texture that provides a balanced and gentle mouthfeel, enhancing the overall drinking experience.

- Super Smooth: offers unparalleled smoothness that sets it apart. Each sip glides effortlessly across your palate, leaving a velvety sensation. It strikes the perfect balance between malty sweetness and subtle hop bitterness, delivering a truly satisfying taste experience.

We’re introducing a new twist to your Heineken experience by infusing your beer with exciting foam flavours, such as Bitterblood Orange or Pineapple Guave. With flavoured foam we infuse your beer, adding a unique and refreshing dimension to the classic Heineken taste.

Why foam? Foam is a natural and essential part of beer and is created by the brewing process. You recognize a well-poured Heineken Beer by its solid head of foam. But it doesn’t only look good, foam also affects your taste. Tip: Give the foam some time

The pilot brews are small-batch beers that can be tried at the Heineken Studio. They are new creations that push the boundaries of lager.

Now on tap:

Wheat Lager: Crisp citrus tones with a smooth, velvet finish. It has a cloudy, dark, golden colour and has a slightly citrusy scent on a more spicy base.
