The beer was brewed and bottled this September at the newly constructed brewery just outside the country’s capital of Tunis. Heineken® has rarely been available until now. The new brewery, which has an annual production capacity of 200,000 hectolitres will brew a mainstream brand Golden Brau, in addition to Heineken®. On July 5, Heineken became the first international brewer to open its own concept store. The store, dubbed Heineken The City, spans six buildings and two floors in the historic heart of Amsterdam, the Dutch capital. The shop’s opening, which took place amidst massive media attention, featured a fashion show hosted by Dutch designers, including Daryl van Wouw. Heineken The City sells Heineken® beer in several unique packages. However, as Herwin van den Berg, Marketing Manager for Heineken Netherlands, notes: “Heineken The City is not a bar or café”.

It is the largest electronic music event in the world since the demise of Berlin’s Love Parade, and Heineken was one of the major sponsors. In addition to the parading “love mobiles,” 25 stages offered musical entertainment throughout the Swiss city. DJ’s headlining the event included the Dutch Fedde le Grande and the British Andy Moor. The main motto for this year’s event was “friendship.” Heineken picked up on the positive vibe and invested heavily in responsible consumption at the Street Parade. The new “Enjoy Heineken Responsibly” logo was clearly visible on all branded materials, and 80 employees handed out flyers promoting the responsible consumption message. www.streetparade.com The Pacific island of New Caledonia danced to the 18th edition of its annual music festival “Live en Aout” (Live in August) this year. The festival drew more than 10,000 visitors. It has become a staple of local culture since Grande Brasserie de Nouvelle Caledonie, the local Heineken operation, first hosted it in 1991. What began as a small local jazz festival has evolved into a major festival with music styles varying from roadhouse to gipsy. “This year’s absolute highlight was Pablo’s Discobar, a spectacular funk band from Australia,” said Leo Evers the General Manager of GBNC. A concert by Brisbane- based Australian ska outfit Foghorn Leghorn in a jazzy joint near the Baie des Citrons beach marked the end of eight days of “rhythm, fun and pleasure” on the island. www.live-en-aout.nc 4 World of Heineken 39 - winter 2008/2009 ‘Day of Giving’ in USA King of Spain opens brewery On October 22, HRM Don Juan Carlos, the King of Spain, officially opened the new Heineken brewery in Seville.
