heineken: the experience

the heineken experience deserves it's own post.

when my mom went in december, before i arrived on the scene, she told me how awesome the brewery was.

so, i knew that this time around we had to go.

you walk into the brewery, and right away your given an awesome wrist band with two beer tokens on it.

so right off the bat you're intrigued. 

first we walked through the history of the company.

adriaan heineken started the company when he was 22. 

which kind of makes me feel like i should be more productive with my life...but not really.

i loved the vintage posters, awards, and coasters. i was pretty bummed there weren't replicas for sale in the gift shop. i did get a nice t-shirt...but before that, one of the best parts is the simulator ride where you watch a video from the p.o.v of the beer. with a moving floor and water spraying out into your face, it's realistic. it's fun.

afterwards you get to go into the taste room where you are taught the proper way to drink beer (big gulp, don't sip at the foam) and then you get to make an awesome video.

(see here)

don't judge me...i was buzzed.

anyway, then you get to make your way into the bar and grab your two free beers.

they were yummy.

kendall doesn't like beer, so i took hers and in total had five before noon.

that led to this:

i can be a weirdo some times. but it's all good. plus i'm obsessed with my new nike's that were purchased in amsterdam.

so, long story short, when in amsterdam, go to the heineken experience. it's awesome, it's fun, it's worth it!
