Heineken Lager Beer ((オランダ語:Heineken Pilsener)), or simply Heineken ((:ˈɦɛinəkən)), is a pale lager beer with 5% alcohol by volume produced by the Dutch brewing company Heineken International. Heineken is well known for its signature green bottle and red star.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heineken® )〕 == History == Gerard Adriaan Heineken bought "De Hooiberg" (The Haystack) brewery in Amsterdam on February 15, 1864. In 1873, the HBM (Heineken's Bierbrouweij Maatschapij) was established, and the first beer is brewed, with the brewery's name being changed from Haystack to Heineken. In 1875, Heineken won the Medaille D'Or at the International Exposition in Paris, then began to be shipped there regularly. Heineken sales topped 64,000 hectolitres (1 hectolitre = 26.418 U.S. gallons) and it was the biggest exporter to France. In 1889, Heineken receives the gold medal of honour at the World Exhibition in Paris. In 1990, Heineken received a special Jury Prize in Paris. After prohibition was lifted in 1933, Heineken was the first European beer to be imported to the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=PDF )〕 In Heineken's early years, the beer won four awards: *''Medaille d'Or'' (Gold Medal) in Paris in 1875.〔 *''Diplome d'Honneurs'' (Honorary Diploma) at the International Colonial Exposition in Amsterdam in 1883.〔 *''Grand Prix'' (Grand Prize) at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889.〔 *''Hors Concours Membre du Jury'' in Paris in 1900.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Heineken International )〕 The two awards that are still mentioned on the label are the Medaille d'Or and Diplome d'Honneurs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theheinekencompany.com/about-us/our-history )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heineken」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
