Heineken

Heineken. We've never heard of it... anybody out there know what this obscure brew is?

I do not doubt that many of you have heard of Heineken, the import brew from Germany. What many of you do not know is that the flavor is very distinct depending on what part of the world you are drinking it in.


My experience in the US was pleasant, with only one bad side effect. A serious hangover. But, within the last year, I have had the opportunity to drink many of this delicious beer in France. In France they serve it anywhere, I recall being in a casino and while playing some blackjack craving for some Heineken.

I expected the same taste and crispness as in America, but I was in for a very good surprise. Simply because the beer was transported a shorter distance to the bar I was drinking at, the beer was like one of Mozart's symphonies to my taste buds.

So, my lesson for you lads and lasses consuming any brew, drink what has the shortest shipping distance, for a crisper flavor.

wrong it is from Amsterdam (netherlands)

Hi,

Heineken is a great Bier from Amsterdam (netherlands)!

Calsberg is a Dutch Beer!

And Beer from Germany is for example Munich:

Augustiner Hell, Hofbräu, Löwenbräu...
Or from the North of Germany: Jever, Becks, Bitburger...

I know it for sure because I live one hour close to Munich
