Heineken 0.0 Non-Alcoholic Beer

Heineken 0.0 is a non-alcoholic malt beverage launched by the Dutch brewing giant Heineken N.V. to cater to the growing global consumer demand for alcohol-free alternatives. Introduced in 2017, the product is brewed using the same traditional ingredients as the original Heineken lager—water, malted barley, and hop extract—before the alcohol is removed through a vacuum distillation process and blended with natural flavorings to replicate the signature Heineken profile.

The Heineken brand dates back to 1864 when Gerard Adriaan Heineken purchased the De Hooiberg brewery in Amsterdam. Over the last century and a half, the company has grown into one of the world's largest brewers, maintaining a strong identity through its iconic green bottles and red star logo. While the brand is quintessentially Dutch and continues to be headquartered in Amsterdam, its products are manufactured in dozens of countries worldwide to serve localized markets efficiently.

Heineken N.V. remains the ultimate owner of the brand. It is a publicly traded company on the Euronext Amsterdam, though a significant controlling interest is held by the Heineken family through Heineken Holding N.V. The company operates a massive global network, owning over 300 brands including Amstel, Sol, and Tiger, making it a dominant force in the international beverage industry.
