Perfectly drinkable (when cold), I’d recommend Amstel 0.0 it to anyone looking for an easy-drinking 0% lager. The rapid growth of the non-alcoholic beer sector in the UK suggests there’s a huge appetite for 0% drinks, and the Spanish clearly know what they’re doing when it comes to beer ‘sin alcohol’ (sin means 'without' in Spanish). San Miguel is a well-known brand. And given the popularity of their lager amongst Brits I am sure their non-alcoholic lager could be instrumental in exposing many who ask ‘why would I drink a non-alcoholic beer?’ to give it a try.

In South Africa, total volume grew in the forties, ahead of the market. Beer volume grew close to 40%, with strong growth from Heineken ®, Amstel and Windhoek. Cider volume grew in the sixties, driven by Strongbow. There were alcohol bans in during January and July, however the impact was less severe than those in 2020.

With NA beer, driving under the influence may not be a concern but depending on your own health and your brand of choice, sugar intake could be. We started two Sustainability & Responsibility Committees: one at Supervisory Board level and one at Executive Management level The Mahou Sin is a really good standard lager, but I prefer something with a bit more flavour, having been a regular ale and IPA drinker in recent years. The Amstel Oro really makes the most of the additional flavours created by the drying/roasting process to make it distinct from the Amstel 0.0. Sadly, the Mahou Sin Tostada doesn’t really taste any different from the standard Mahou Sin.

Speaking after a religious event, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Dr Mujahid Yusof said that: “Using an alcohol brand name without the alcohol is very confusing because the process of manufacturing the beverage, including distillation, falls under the system of producing alcoholic products.”​ The net profit for 2021 was €3,324 million (2020: €204 million loss).

ABV means alcohol by volume. The strength of alcoholic drinks has increased over the years, with new wines from South America, South Australia and South Africa containing 14% ABV or higher – this means that a bottle will contain approximately 10.5 units and 750 calories, and a large 250ml glass can be over 3 units and 200 calories.

Our world-class sponsorships are a unique vehicle to connect and reach consumers, and 2021 was our biggest year in history despite COVID-19 restrictions. The UEFA Champions League and Euro 2020 took place in 2021, and Heineken ® invited fans to come together and be rivals again, with only the Euro 2020 reaching more than 5billion views. Depreciation & amortisation expenses (beia) decreased organically by 1.7% to €1,539 million (2020: €1,584 million), driven by the impairments of last year in combination with lower investments in assets due to the partial suspension of non-committed CAPEX in 2020.

And by that, I mean it won’t be unusual for people to pop down to their local for an alcohol free pint or two.

The premium portfolio grew in the low-twenties led by Heineken ® in Brazil and Amstel Ultra in Mexico.
