Schinnen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxɪnə(n)] ⓘ; Limburgish: Sjènne [ˈʃɛnə]) is a village and a former municipality in the province of Limburg, Netherlands. It was home to US Army Garrison Schinnen, a support base for US personnel assigned to nearby Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum. It is also the location of Alfa Brewery, the only brewery in the Netherlands that uses an officially certified underground spring. In 2019, it merged with Nuth and Onderbanken to form the municipality of Beekdaelen.
