Heineken Export Lager

Recently I celebrated a BIG birthday and had a retirement party, my husband bought some lager as well as wine, the lager was Heineken Export and as some was left I decided to try a bottle with my lunch, sitting out in the garden enjoying the April sunshine. I was feeling tired after gardening- that was my excuse! Well, that's what retired people do, don't they? My father was a beer drinker and thought men who drank lager were wimps - that was my husband! But lager is no longer as weak as it was when first introduced to Britain's pubs back in the 1960's. In 1969, (the year we got married) ... more

Why not have a glass of Heineken? Heineken is a Dutch lager, probably the most famous of all Dutch lagers surpassing the likes of Orangeboom and Grolsch. Although, arguably, Grolsch have the best adverts! Heineken entered the UK market in the 1960's and back then people preferred the weaker beers and ales to Lagers so Heineken produced a weaker version of their popular lager and Heineken Cold Filtered was born! Then in ... more

Heineken is Holland’s most famous brand of beer and is the leading selling and most well known brand internationally. Heineken is one of my favourite beers primarily because it is available wherever I travel. As some of you may be aware I travel regularly to West Africa and Asia and Heineken is always available wherever I go, be it in cans or bottles. Heineken is a quality lager beer that provides a perfect balance being not too strong and not too light. The quality of the beer has never been in question although taste may differ slightly depending on the way that you have it i.e. in ... more

I am a man of many tastes, as my previous reviews on alcoholic beverages would suggest. I enjoy a refreshing cider, and a cheap lager, but what about an enjoyable slightly pricier drink? I'm not a spirit man, so my dabbling tends to take me to the higher spectrum of the lager tap. Away from the Castlemain’s, the Carlings and Fosters, it’s time for a finer pint. What of Stella Artois or Hoegaarden or even Staropramen? All good on occasion, but when one beer is there it takes the choice out of my hands and into my pockets, it’s got to be a Heineken. Whilst I don’t want to sound like Jeffery from ... more
