Sep 22 - Heineken Gives Its Bottle a Makeover

Beer Nut checking in...

I like the new design, but I would prefer that they lower the price and introduce a new type of beer to the brand. That would make more sense.

I'm not going to get a Heineken over an IPA, Stout, or Belgian beer. I'll take Heineken over Bud/Miller/Coors garbage, but that's about it. I'll even have a Sam Adams Boston Lager (none of those crappy wheat beer versions) before Heineken.

but odds are when most people go out, they dont have a wide selection so they still with what is cheap and basiccly something they are gonna binge on to get drunk.

They both cost 12.99 for a 12 pack at Walgreens.

This bottle design isn't new. It's been this way in Australia for a long time.

heineken is my !!, we been had the long necks up here now for a couple years though [pic]

09-24-2012, 08:55 AM

The heineken bottle been like that in the UK as far as I can remember.

09-24-2012, 09:00 AM

I used to drink only heinken but it's dumb to go to a bar and spend 5 dollars on a bottle when you can buy a 32oz 3 dollar bud light or whatever.

I never !!ed with corona though.

Corona with lemon/lime>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

09-24-2012, 09:15 AM

long necks have been around for awhile (not in the us)

so no, they aren't suddenly "changing a good thing" or spending a load of money on a new design.

09-24-2012, 09:21 AM

Had this bottle in the uk for years.

09-24-2012, 09:26 AM

This is to help sales in America.

09-24-2012, 10:01 AM

[pic] True beer drinker will appreciate this. They could never fit into a long neck beer coolie. Now they can. [pic]

"Poured into a standard pint glass, color is straw gold, head is 1/2'' thick, but dissipates immediately.

Smell is grainy, bland, corn, ugh.

Taste is all corn and awful grain - i'm going to pour out a portion of it.

Mouthfeel is way over caronated, too crisp and mixed with over sweetened - but not to balance or blend.

Overall, awful beer.

Serving type: bottle"

instead of getting a 24 pack of this ^ !! next time, spend between $12-$15 and get a 6 pack something good. I recommend Founders, DogFish Head, Lagunitas, Rogue, Southern Tier, and Stone. ANYTHING by ANYONE of them companies will be better than Heineken and Bud Light Platinum.

for people asking why change it... it got you talking didn't?

09-24-2012, 11:37 AM

Dang.....Heineken gots all these muh'!!as talking about it...mission complete. Good job on the regular bottle design. [pic]
