Beer doesn’t turn people into somebody they’re not.
It just makes them forget to hide that part of themselves.

Interesting Fact:Β  The Heineken company was founded in 1864 when the 22-year-old Gerard Adriaan Heineken bought a brewery known as De Hooiberg (the haystack) in Amsterdam. In 1869 Heineken switched to the use of bottom-fermenting yeast. In 1873 the brewery’s name changed to Heineken’s Bierbrouwerij Maatschappij (HBM), and opened a second brewery in Rotterdam in 1874. In 1886 Dr. H. Elion, a pupil of the French chemist Louis Pasteur, developed the “Heineken A-yeast” in the Heineken laboratory. This yeast is still the key ingredient of Heineken beer.

    Nice photo. I had the opportunity to visit the Heineken factory when I was in Amsterdam and it was pretty cool! Looking at your photo, it instantly reminded me of that.. πŸ™‚

    Hi from Amsterdam!” The Heineken experience” museum is truly worth visiting. It is not just a museum with these interesting facts, but a great experience with all kinds of fun (and beer, too!)!
