DB challenged the way the world brews beer. We were the first to introduce the continuous fermentation process and to sell this technology internationally. We were named Champion Brewery in 2010. Our reputation is built on pushing boundaries and creating new beer styles and innovative brands and our journey is not over.

We’re nimble enough to change the game and respond to new challenges with fresh ideas. We’re primarily a beer business but we anticipate emerging trends and act quickly. We were first in the market with aluminium kegs and cans. We were the first to brew a local dry beer and a micro-filtered beer. More recently we reinvigorated Kiwi interest in premium cider. We are bold enough to lead not follow.

As the world’s most valuable, international premium beer brand, Heineken has been privileged to be associated with many high profile global sporting tournaments. Our ability to successfully support major sporting events has been repeatedly demonstrated from the European Champions League to the 2011 Rugby World Cup and the Heineken Tennis Open in Auckland. Our focus remains on ensuring everyone enjoys Heineken, and the events we are aligned with, responsibly.

Our strength is the beer brew, our culture, our innovation and our brands. Our people are passionate about our sense of family, of history, of being successful and overcoming adversity. We are proud of our beer quality, our brewing awards and our business success.  In a nutshell, it is our passion that drives us to be the best in beer.

DB’s brands are among the most awarded and recognised. High on the list of Kiwi favourites is Tui, New Zealand’s most popular beer brand. But even beer has its dark side. In 2012 Tui revealed ‘Tui Dark’, adding another feather to its award-winning cap.
