A Quick Dive into Heineken’s History
How It All Began
Heineken’s journey started in 1864 when Gerard Adriaan Heineken purchased a brewery in Amsterdam with the ambition to craft exceptional beer. By the late 1800s, Heineken had established itself as one of Europe’s leading beers, celebrated for its clean, crisp taste.
What Makes It Special
The secret to Heineken’s distinctive flavour lies in its unique A-yeast, developed in the 1880s. This special ingredient has been used for over 150 years, ensuring that every glass of Heineken delivers the same refreshing taste.
Going Global
Heineken didn’t remain confined to the Netherlands. By the early 20th century, it was being exported worldwide. Today, Heineken is enjoyed in over 190 countries, making it one of the most popular beers globally.
A Personal Connection to Heineken
Heineken holds a special significance at Coast Brasserie. While we always knew our owner’s grandfather hailed from Rotterdam, it was recently discovered that this Dutch heritage legally extends to our owner, despite his father being born in the UK. This revelation has inspired him to reconnect with his Dutch roots, learn the language, and, naturally, enjoy Heineken even more.
For our owner, serving Heineken on draught is a way to honour his heritage and share a piece of it with our guests. It’s a testament to how food and drink can bridge connections to our roots and foster shared stories.
