Pure Malt Quality. Nothing else.

It’s about what you put in. And also what you leave out.

Pure malt quality always shines. Not literally of course. But certainly, with every refreshing sip. Heineken is brewed with nothing less than Pure Malt, water, hops and A-Yeast. And nothing more; our recipe has no corn, no rice, no additives. And, because we are so proud of what we put in our bottles, we put it on our bottles.

No. Heineken has a policy of not using any GMO raw materials.

Beer contains gluten, which comes from the grain used to brew it. Only a fraction of the gluten in the grain gets into the beer – the exact amount depends on the kind of grain used. Brewing beer with barley leaves only traces of gluten in the beer, while wheat contributes considerably more. The brewing process can also affect gluten content. Generally speaking, the clearer and blonder the beer is, the less gluten it contains. Some people are allergic to gluten and have to follow a diet that minimises or excludes their gluten intake. Whether beer can be part of such a diet or not depends on the extent of the allergy and the type of beer consumed. In many cases, lager beers pose no problem for people who have a gluten allergy. However, it is up to individuals to assess their own sensitivity.

Curious about how much love we put into everything we brew?

The beauty of brewing is that it’s a natural process, enhanced by craftsmanship to create the perfect beverage. Our Heineken lager contains just three main ingredients: barley, hops and water. When our A-yeast is added, this is when Heineken magically transforms into the brew we all know and love.
