Heineken was born in 1973 in Amsterdam. The company grew with its brand image and acquired international recognition in a momentum which was fairly gradual. One of its key product which is beer was being exported to Dutch India which is now called Indonesia. Further, in 1876 France was identified as the first external market to open the brand Heineken. This external market developed and flourished despite the exportation that had emerged in a far advanced manner from the two war periods.
It was not until an April day in 1933 when the state of New York saw a load of beer from Heineken arrive in Hoboken. This event took place exactly three days after the lift of the prohibition. Therefore, this was indeed the day when the first legal unloading took place in New York. Hence Heineken has been regarded as the first brand of beer which was imported into the United States.
