The history

of Heineken®

Despite humble beginnings and barely being out of his teenage years, Gerard Heineken was determined to brew the best beer imaginable. That same entrepreneurial, pioneering spirit ensured that long after he achieved that goal, the beer has continued to reach ever-greater numbers of people around the world.

The beginnings

The beginnings

In 1864, Gerard Heineken took over the Haystack brewery in the heart of Amsterdam and later rebuilt it on the waterfront. He decided to brew only lager – a bold move that led to Heineken® becoming the first Dutch premium beer.

The magic ingredient

The magic ingredient

At the heart of the success of Heineken® are four ingredients: malted barley, water, hops and the unique A-yeast. Discovered in 1886, this yeast is responsible for the fresh, pure taste of Heineken®.

Crossing borders and beyond

Crossing borders and beyond

Already a success in Europe, Heineken® was first exported to South America in 1883, thanks to an innovative pasteurizing process that was developed at its Rotterdam brewery, which allowed for the beer to be transported long distances.

A new look

In 1954, HEINEKEN launched a new label with a new logo, designed by the future CEO of the company, Alfred ‘Freddy’ Heineken. The unusual new label ushered in a period of revolutionary marketing ideas and brand-building initiatives.
