5x summer in your beer glass

You can enjoy these beers from your favorite holiday destinations right here in the Netherlands, on the beach, the terrace and in your backyard. 

Indonesia, Bintang

Bintang is the most widely drunk beer in Indonesia. The red star on the label refers to the time when the country was in Dutch hands and Heineken produced the beer. Its low alcohol content of 4.7 percent makes it a good thirst quencher that you can drink all day.

Spain, San Miguel Fresca

Not in the mood for Corona or Sol? Then this new beer from San Miguel is perfecto. Drink it with a slice of lime for an extra refreshing effect. With an alcohol content of 4.4 percent, so it won’t knock you over right away.

A fan of Spanish beer? Then the specialty beer from La Cabra Azul is for you. 

Mexico, Sol

You can drink this carbonated beer mindlessly, because the flavor is summery and mild (alcohol content 4.2 percent). These fish tacos are sure to taste fantastic with it.

Make your own cocktail with beer.

Germany, Weihenstephaner

The editorial team’s favorite. Weihenstephaner (alcohol content 5.4 percent) is an amber-colored wheat beer brewed at the  Weihenstephan monastery brewery, a brewery that has existed for more than a thousand years and is therefore the oldest in the world. You taste the bitterness of the hops, as well as lightly sweet fruit.

This is the perfect snack to enjoy with your Weihenstephaner.

The Netherlands

Wieckse Witte (alcohol content 5 percent) is somewhat the entry-level wheat beer and is ordered in abundance on Dutch terraces at the first rays of sunshine. You taste lots of citrus and coriander, making it a case of  hate it or love it  . There is also an alcohol-free version on the market.

These snacks are perfect for drinks and nibbles.
