Or even someone who just wants to have fun! The Heineken Experience is a trip to the Heineken Brewery and Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is not a working brewery but an old one which has been converted into a museum and is open for everyone. The whole experience is just full of wonder and fun and excitement. You need to go there just to feel like a kid who is given the pass to sit on those 4ft and above rides in an amusement park.

You are crushed like the barley, mixed with the water, folded in with the yeast, heated, fermented, cooled, brewed and you realise the time and effort it goes into getting that cold pint to your table. It's not an easy task folks!

Well, after all that hard work, you do get a reward - a freshly brewed cool glass of beer!
