Heineken Minis Offer a Smaller Version of the Brand's Original Beer
Michael Hemsworth — June 8, 2021 — Marketing
The Heineken Minis are being reintroduced by Heineken USA to provide consumers with a new option to enjoy the premium flavor of the beer in a more conservative way. The smaller serving size will come in the form of 8.5-ounce cans and 7-ounce bottles, and will be available for purchase in 24 states for shoppers to pick up. The beer is reported to have the same distinct flavor as the original, but sized to make it suitable for those looking to enjoy a lesser amount.
The Heineken Minis are expected to launch into additional markets later in the year and are likely to be welcomed by consumers looking to reduce or restrict their consumption of alcohol.
