Heineken beer is made from the purest ingredients. We use only water, malted barley,& hops and yeast._x000D_ Barley is the major raw material used in brewing beer. Before it can be used for brewing, the barley grain must be malted. Malting helps make the starch and protein (by its natural enzymes) in barley available for brewing by breaking down the natural cell wall that surrounds the starch. Starch will be converted to sugar, which will produce alcohol during fermentation. Malting also forms the colour and flavour that the barley will lend to the beer.
_x000D_Hops is one of the flavour-makers of beer, and also contributes to its shelf life. The resin from the female hop flower cones is used to help balance the sweetness of the barley with a refreshing bitterness._x000D_ _x000D_ Water_x000D_ Beer contains almost 95% water. Water plays an important part in giving beer its characteristic flavour, as different sources contribute to unique beer flavours.Clean, high quality water is essential not only to our beer, but also to life everywhere. We are actively working in the communities that we're a part of to protect clean water supplies.
_x000D__x000D_ Generally speaking: The clearer and blonder the beer is, the less gluten it may contain._x000D_ Some people are allergic to gluten and have to follow a diet that minimises or excludes their gluten intake. Whether beer can be part of such a diet or not, is dependent on the extent of the allergy and the beer type consumed. In many cases lager beers pose no problem for people who have a gluten allergy. However, it is up to the individual to assess his or her sensitivity.
