The History of Heineken
The Heineken-BEER story began more than 140 years ago in 1864 when Gerard Adriaan Heineken acquired a small brewery in the heart of Amsterdam. Four generations of the Heineken family have been passionately involved in the expansion of the Heineken brand and the Company throughout the world.

Heineken has the widest presence of all international brewers, thanks to our global network of distributors and 119 breweries in more than 65 countries. In Europe we are the largest brewer and distributor of beverages.

Heineken's global coverage is achieved through a combination of wholly-owned companies, licence agreements, affiliates and strategic partnerships and alliances. Some of our wholesalers also distribute wine, spirits and soft drinks. Our brands are well established in profitable, mature markets, whilst the popularity of our beers is growing daily in emerging beer markets.
Marketing excellence and innovation are key components of our growth strategy. In everything we do, it is the consumers and their changing needs that is at the heart of our efforts.

Note: Heineken is so very famous and DUTCH that i had to post something about this brand of beer.... When I'm really thirsty My favorite drinks are; cold water (how boring but refreshing cool) or pots of tea and many brands of coffee... I do not drink any beer , though sometimes I like to drink a wine or port for dessert (after dinner), companioned with some fine French cheese. How about you? what do you like to drink?

Cheers to everybody!
