But how did it all started… From the year 1863 Heineken started to brew their beers at this brewery on the edge of the city. After more than a century Heineken closed their first brewery in 1988, as the factory wasn’t able to meet the high demands anymore. Three years later Heineken opened the Heineken Experience and the public could experience Heineken and its history.
