With its 4% alcohol by volume (ABV), Heineken Silver is crafted with malted barley, water, and a ‘small but significant extra ingredient’, Heineken's signature A Yeast.

Manso is confident that Heineken Silver can serve to open up a new market, rather than simply bringing existing Heineken drinkers over to the new product. A combination of wider consumer interest in the light lager category, alongside a demand for premium, is providing outlets with the opportunity to bolster both value and volume sales. Heineken Silver®, the recently launched premium light lager, taps not only into the increasing appetite for lighter tasting lagers, but also speaks to the consumer need for brands that are more premium; a vital trend for operators to capitalise on to grow revenue. The company believes it can build on that momentum with the large scale US launch of Heineken Silver this year - championing it as the perfect drink for consumers looking for a refreshing beer for sessionable occasions.

Heineken Silver has a lower ABV than the original and was designed to be accessible to more consumers and especially appealing to those who enjoy drinkable, sessionable brews without sacrificing flavor,” explains Manso.
