Product Information

Amstel was bought out by Heineken International in 1968. [2] In 1972 the Amstel Brewery in Amsterdam was closed and production was relocated to the main Heineken plant in Zoeterwoude. The building on the Mauritskade was torn down. Only the former administration building was kept and has since become part of the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. The Amstel Malta special brewing process uses only natural ingredients to produce this fine malt drink. Ingredients include water, malted barley, sucrose, hops and carmel to ensure a fuller, richer taste. No, due to the use of malted barley in the brew, Amstel cannot be considered gluten-free. The company claims that their Amstel light beer is technically gluten-free due to it having such a low level. For some people, the very low levels of gluten may make it okay to drink … but it is NOT gluten-free, just low in gluten.

Personally, I would rather point you in the direction of Czech pilsners such as Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen, Kozel, and Budvar. These beers are pilsners just like Amstel, but better. You can also look at German Pilsners such as Flensburger, Bitburger, Veltins (my favourite pilsner in the world), and Jever.But large breweries that mass-produce their beers can filter out sediment using machines. This arguably makes for a worse pint, but it does have the benefit of making the beer vegan-friendly. What Beer is Similar to Amstel? There is 4.1% alcohol in Amstel. It doesn’t matter if it is bottled, canned, or draught, the alcohol percentage is exactly the same. This is not always the case with beer, often bottled is a bit stronger than the draught.

[1] Beers [ edit ] Amstel Brewery ( Dutch: Amstelbrouwerij [ˈɑmstəlbrʌwəˌrɛi̯]) is a Dutch brewery founded in 1870 on the Mauritskade in Amsterdam. It was taken over by Heineken International in 1968, and the brewing plant closed down in 1982, with production moving to the main Heineken plant at Zoeterwoude.

In 1954, Amstel built a brewery in Dutch Guiana. A few years later, Amstel was the first Dutch brewery to export beer in cans. At this time, the total exports of Amstel beer amounted to 101,000 hectoliters. In 1958 a subsidiary of Amstel produced its first beer in Jordan. In 1960, the third subsidiary of Amstel was opened in Curaçao. 1963 saw the opening of two new breweries, one in Puerto Rico and one in Greece. The obvious beers to mention would be the other Dutch lagers out there. Grolsch, Heineken, Bavaria. These beers are very similar in terms of taste and quality. So much so, that there isn’t much point in me recommending them!
