Storage silos

This is one of 15 large storage silos that are located in the old Heineken brewery and that are as much as 65 feet tall. "They were used to store malted barley for crafting and brewing Heineken," a sign about the silos reads. "Historically, the barley arrived by ship via the canal across the street and was transferred to the top of the building directly into these historic silos. The brewing process went on for 24 hours a day with up to six brews a day."
