I was in the Netherlands for a UConn MBA class in 1995. (easiest 6 credits I ever earned). I went to a pub in Amsterdam and bought a Heineken. I drank it and went back for another. This time I order Amstel and the bartender told me that Heineken and Amstel were the same. Is that true?
1995 was a long time ago but Amstel is owned by Heineken and is brewed in the same locations but as far as I know they've always been different beers.
I've been over to Netherlands and Amesterdam each of the past few years and I've never heard or seen anything suggesting they are the same beer.
