Amstel

Amstel® is a brand with 150 years of history. The history of Amstel® began in 1870 in Amsterdam with a true friendship between two entrepreneurs - innovators - Charles and Johannes, who wanted to brew the best beer together. By combining their knowledge and commitment to uncompromising quality, they were able to organize the construction of a brewery in just four weeks and make a real revolution in brewing. At that time, everyone brewed only low-quality hazy ale - the process took only one day, and friends increased the brewing time to 20 days and cooled the beer in the process of transportation with ice from the Amstel River. With the help of this technology, a clear amber beer of excellent quality was obtained. To this day, Amstel® is a truly balanced beer with a refreshing hop bitterness on the palate and a hop aroma with delicate notes of herbs that is brewed longer than regular beer from 100% natural ingredients. According to legend, the red and white ball in the Amstel® logo symbolizes the friendship of the founders of the brand and their dedication to a common cause. Amstel® believes that alone you can do a lot, but together with friends you can do much more. In 2020, on its 150th anniversary, Amstel® introduced Russian consumers to Russian consumers with an updated, eye-catching design and a new advertising campaign "Amstel® for Friendship". The new design emphasizes its uniqueness - it reflects the history of the birth of the brand and, of course, the high quality and naturalness of our beer. We have retained the warm gold color that our consumers love so much and have significantly enlarged the Amstel® logo so that the consumer can easily find the brand on the shelf. Amstel® is one of the best selling beer brands in the world. Today, consumers in more than 110 countries of the world, including Russia, enjoy it.
