The green bottle Dutch lager, brewed since 1873 and sold in almost every country on earth.

Where to get it

Sold nationwide.

  • Bars and restaurants
  • Bottle shops
  • Beer distributors
  • Grocery stores
  • Convenience stores

Heineken and Dos Equis are imported and sold nationwide through Heineken USA wholesalers. In Pennsylvania that means cases at beer distributors, six-packs and twelve-packs at licensed grocery and convenience stores, and draft at many bars. In Maryland most beer is sold at liquor stores, since few grocery stores there hold a beer license. In West Virginia it is in grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations. The Dos Equis site has a beer finder by zip code; the Heineken site links to delivery services instead.

Aroma

Grainy malt, a little grassy hop and the familiar skunky note from the green glass.

Appearance

Pale gold and clear with a white head.

Taste

Light sweet malt, a mild hop bitterness and a slightly dry finish.

Overall

A reliable import lager. Better from a can or keg than a bottle that has seen the light.
