    Took them long enough. Took them off my list of permissible awhile ago because they didn’t withdraw.

      I took them off my list 13 years ago when I tasted the piss they call beer.

          They don’t have a brewery in amsterdam. It’s just their old brewery repurposed as a tourist attraction. All beer there is exactly the same as the ones at the supermarket.

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tasted good to me, unlike all the other Heineken I’ve tried. I suppose there are all sorts of things that can affect the taste. This was 20+ years ago, if that makes any difference.

            Edit: nope, just checked and they closed the actual brewery there in 1988.

      I did the same. I think the last news I heard was that they didn’t want to lose all their assets which is why the sale was taking so long.

      I guess they’ve won back some goodwill by seemingly trading secure jobs for their employees for 3 years in exchange for their assets.

      Still not great that it took this long…
