Heineken – A World-Renowned Beer
Created in 1864 by Gerard Adriaan Heineken, Heineken has traveled well past Amsterdam. The company now has breweries in 70 countries with 167 distinct breweries globally.
Heineken is a pale lager beer with 5% ABV and a fresh, distinctive flavor. At Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits, you’ll find original Heineken as well as Heineken 0.0.
Brewing Heineken requires four simple ingredients:
- Malted barley
- Quality hops
- Special A-Yeast
- Purified water
The original brew is one of the most popular beers in the entire world.
Heineken 0.0 is growing in popularity due to the classic taste and 69 minimal calories. The brewers achieve the lower calorie count by reducing the amount of alcohol within the brew.
Heineken stands out due to its flavor and its branding. The green of the bottle was chosen to stand out in a world of brown bottle beers, and the red star on the bottle symbolizes Master Brewing. The first four points on the star stand for the beer’s ingredients, and the last symbolizes the expertise and craftsmanship of a quality brewer.
Before leaving the breweries for distribution, each batch of Heineken must be checked for quality by a Master Brewer.
The History of the Heineken Brand
When the founder of Heineken, Gerard Adriaan Heineken, was 22 years old, he purchased the struggling De Hooiberg (Haystack) brewery and named his brew after his own family. He followed up this purchase fairly quickly by buying a Rotterdam brewery to grow the brewery further.
The key ingredient that makes Heineken unique is the A-yeast. Discovered by company chemist and Louis Pasteur student, Dr. H. Elion, the A-Yeast remains the base for the classic lager.
Four generations later, Heineken remains under the control of the Heineken family and is widely recognized as one of the world’s most popular beers and a stand-out product of Holland.
The Heineken brew was the first beer imported into the United States from Europe in 1933, three short days after the repeal of Prohibition. World Wars I and II caused a decrease in production by 70% for beer makers in Europe, leading to ingredient substitutions and multiple beer varieties by the 1950s. The increased competition is what inspired the focus on branding that Heineken has.
