The Heineken Experience, located in Amsterdam, is a historic brewery and corporate visitor center for the internationally distributed Dutch pilsner, Heineken beer. The industrial facility was built as the first Heineken brewery in 1867, serving as the company's primary brewing facility until 1988 when a more modern, larger facility was constructed on the outskirts of the city. In 1991, the brewery opened to the public as a brewery tour and visitor center, known as the "Heineken Treat and Information Centre". The attraction grew to become one of Amsterdam's most popular tourist attractions and by 2001 the visitor center changed its name to "Heineken Experience". After a year of extensive remodelling and expansion, the Heineken Experience reopened to visitors on 3 November 2008. The latest transformation of the visitor experience comprises four levels of historical artefacts, product exploration and sampling, and interactive exhibits, which employ the latest high-tech multi-media technologies. In renovating this visitor experience, the brewery tour was designed to educate the public on the process of pilsner brewing as well as to bringing the Heineken product and brand to life. As described by branding expert Bob Rogers of BRC Imagination Arts, an experience design firm based in Burbank, California, commissioned to design the visitor center renovations: "We wanted to bring back the connection with beer-making, and the history of Heineken, to help people see it, touch it, taste it". While the original brewing facility, which houses the Heineken Experience, is an historic landmark for the Heineken Company, it serves also as an Anchor Point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage. Of these, 66 Anchor Points compose the ERIH main route. In whole, eleven Regional Routes host the industrial history of the European landscape in detail, and all sites relate to ten European Theme Routes which show the diversity of European industrial history and their common roots.
