AMSTERDAM, April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With 25 million serves of Heineken® across 192 countries every single day*, there is a true science to maintaining its perfectly balanced taste and refreshment. From 100% Natural Ingredients, Heineken®'s famous A-Yeast and Horizontal Fermentation Tanks – and now a 'Beer Level' - a 'highly scientific', Heineken® filled spirit level to ensure bars and tables across the globe are perfectly flat to guarantee the perfect pint presentation!

The playful 'Beer Level' comes as Heineken® today launches its global campaign and TVC 'The First Ahhh!'. The campaign captures the iconic and refreshing 'first sip' feeling you get from a crisp, uniquely balanced Heineken® when finishing your day and starting your evening – no matter where you are in the world.

Nabil Nasser, Global Head, Heineken® Brand, says : “As a brand rooted in more than 150 years of brewing heritage, our perfectly balanced, refreshing taste has become known across the world as a great beer to have with friends. 'The First Ahhh!' embodies that feeling at the end of the day when you can grab a beer with a group of friends. We also want to bring some fun to our credentials by creating this Giant Spirit (or Beer) Level, highlighting our dedication to the craft in true Heineken® wit and style. We're excited to bottle up that unique 'First Ahhh!' feeling and share it with the world.”

Heineken® has delivered its consistent taste and perfectly balanced taste to the world with its unique recipe for more than 150 years. Ever wondered what makes the perfect serve? Heineken® Master Brewer Willem van Waesberghe recommends looking out for the following six signs:

Willem van Waesberghe, Master Brewer at Heineken® says: “It's easy to take for granted the refreshment and uniquely balanced taste a Heineken® always provides – whether Original, Silver or 0.0 – as it is so consistent wherever in the world you enjoy it. However, there is a true science behind the sip, driven by our Five-Star Brewing Principles, including Heineken®'s famous A-yeast, quality Pure Malt, 100% natural ingredients, a horizontal brewing method and our verified Star Brewers, a title that takes 10 years to attain - that provide you with the 'First Ahhh!' feeling.”

Heineken® has worked with renowned UK chef Lee Tiernan of London's 'F.K.A. Black Axe Mangal', an expert when it comes to balancing taste and flavour, to showcase how its five-star premium brewing credentials make Heineken® a consistent ''go-to'' for diners to enjoy as the first drink of the night.

Lee Tiernan, Chef and Restauranteur says: “From the moment people walk into FKABAM, they want an experience that not only starts the night, but also something they'll remember for the rest of their evening. The end goal of a beer and food pairing is that when combined, you end up with a more balanced flavour than each would be alone. That's why Heineken® is the perfect accompaniment for most dishes – its moderate body, light, fruity taste with a lingering fruit and balanced bitterness finish complements a huge range of flavours. My favourite ingredients to enjoy with a Heineken® include fatty lamb shanks, spicy sausages and the umami flavours of fermented shrimp.”
