context_section_description: Hotel Die Port van Cleve owes its name to a plaque of ‘Huys te Kleef’, that was part of the building complex of brewery ‘De Hooiberg’. The brewery was located here since 1592, when widow Weyntgen Elberts bought the building and established the brewery of her husband here. In the years that followed, the building was expanded between the Nieuwezijds Voor- and Achterburgwal.
  Brewery ‘De Hooiberg’ was very successful and remained so until the 18th century. In 1863 the building complex was bought by Gerard Adriaan Heineken. Due to the filling of the canal and the name change of the Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal in Spuistraat, Heineken moved his brewery to its current location on the Stadhouderskade in Amsterdam.
