Today it rained cats and dogs... and beer. The majority of our class attended the Heineken Experience to learn about Amsterdam's most famous beer. From the long line outside the brewery it was apparent that it was a very touristy activity. Although it felt cliche, I had such a fun time that I look forward to doing other typical tourist things! Unlike most places directed towards tourists, the Experience was pretty economical. It was just 10 euros (about $12) for a tour, a mediocre ride, three beers, and a souvenir bottle opener.
The Heineken Experience was also quite a bonding time for us as a group. We learned about the history of Heineken, we danced, we drank, and we played foosball. Don't worry mom and dad, it was educational also. I found it very interesting to learn about how beer is brewed, especially Heineken. Did you know that it's made with type A yeast? Anyway, to say the least, today was different than our previous days of city tours and museums.
