The history of Heineken NV begins in December 16, 1863, the day on which Gerard Adriaan Heineken bought the De Hooiberg brewery in Amsterdam and started the production of the Heineken beer.

In 1917 Gerard's son Dr Henry Pierre Heineken became chairman. He encouraged the rapid international expansion of Heineken N.V. and in the early 1930s the company took its first tentative steps in Asia. Under Alfred H. Heineken's leadership, son of Dr. H.P. Heineken, who was president of the company from 1964 to 1989, Heineken N.V. grew phenomenally and became an international company. Heineken N.V. is now the world's top exporting beer producer.

Heineken is a premium lager beer with 5% alcohol content. In 1866 G.A. Heineken asked Dr H. Elion to find the key to a uniform taste. It arrived in the form of the 'A' yeast to ensure quality and stability. Introduced to the brewing process in 1886, it enabled Heineken to achieve purity and consistency. It was a landmark in brewing still used by Heineken in all of its 110 breweries. The Heineken brand can be enjoyed in more than 200 countries all over the world, and its distinctive green bottle is globally recognised as a trademark for authentic quality and ultimate beer experiences.
