I think I've seen that label locally. Is it all alcohol free?
Indeed alcohol 0.0%. Not as good as the real deal but close enough. Because in my opinion almost every 0.0 beer tasts a bit sweetish. Only Heineken 0.0 is spot on IMO. But not complaining because I never drink a drop when on the bike.

. . . . Only Heineken 0.0 is spot on IMO. . . .
So, many years ago, our sub had pulled onto Ft Lauderdale. I met a guy and a gal from Holland at the beach. (I was the shortest one there at 6') But when they were deciding which beer they wanted, they chose Heineken since they knew it. He took one sip from the bottle and made a face. He proclaimed that it was NOT Heineken or imported from Holland. I found that very interesting since that's what it says on the label. I don't know if it was the difference between bottle and draught, or if it's just a claim for the label.

I don’t know for sure but there is an enormous brewery in the Netherlands that should be able to make massive amounts for export too. Maybe there are more breweries worldwide. Or a McDonalds system? Same products worldwide, made the same way in different restaurants. But a little different taste wise still?

In Argentina, Heineken has been made since 2003…..the flavor is different from other Heinekens in other countries…..but the barley, the water, are locally produced…….but the hops and yeasts are imported… .and they are probably the secret of the flavor, along with the fermentation system…

Lagunitas IPA is produced in Petaluma, in Northern California…

The bottle shown in the posting by “stefanonhiss10” does not appear to be non-alcoholic… it is probably the standard 6.2% alcohol by volume variety. It is very tasty!
I had no idea Lagunitas exported to Europe, good for them!

But, Lagunitas does make a non-alcohol beer, per their website. Who knew?!
