The story behind it
Founded in 1864 by Gerard Adriaan Heineken in Amsterdam, the family-owned brewery grew from a single local site to a massive international standard-bearer of quality. Through generations of family leadership, Heineken pioneered modern brewing science while maintaining strict adherence to its original three-ingredient recipe.
Brewed in a state-of-the-art brewery using horizontal fermentation tanks, this lager's defining element is Heineken's proprietary A-Yeast. Developed in the late 19th century, this unique yeast strain imparts the characteristic fruity notes and crisp baseline that define the brand's identity.
