FYI - here’s a cautionary tale for the home brewer with dreams of going commercial and building a beer empire.

Thirty-eight years ago yesterday the heir to the Heineken beer fortune, Freddy Heineken, was snatched from the streets of Amsterdam and held for the largest ransom ever paid.

A movie, Kidnapping Mr. Heineken starring Anthony Hopkins as Freddy H, was released in 2015, and a free copy is currently available for viewing on YouTube (might not last long, so if interested watch it while you can).

MUST BE WATCHED DIRECTLY ON YouTube (not available via AHB or other websites)



(there’s also several docos on the crime and an earlier Dutch film, the 2011 De Heineken Ontvoering )
 
OMG, my children in Geelong AU and Brooklyn USA are in danger.
