Heineken Customer Service, Product Complaints and Reviews

If you need help with a Heineken product, including a quality concern, unusual taste or odor, damaged bottle or can, packaging problem, promotion, retailer issue or general brand question, use the current Heineken or HEINEKEN USA contact channels. Keep the beverage and packaging when reporting a possible manufacturing or packaging problem because identifying information can help the company review the issue.

Heineken is an international beer brand imported into the United States by HEINEKEN USA. The current U.S. lineup includes Heineken Original, Heineken Silver, Heineken Light and several Heineken 0.0 products.

Heineken Customer Service Information

HEINEKEN USA:
360 Hamilton Avenue, Suite 1103
White Plains, NY 10601

Customer-service hours: HEINEKEN USA’s current public contact and terms pages do not publish a general set of telephone-support hours. The older 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. schedule found in directories should not be presented as a verified current consumer-service schedule.

Choose the Correct Heineken Support Route

  • Bad taste, flat beer or unusual odor: Keep the product and packaging and contact Heineken with the product and purchase information.
  • Broken bottle, leaking can or damaged packaging: Stop using damaged merchandise and preserve the package safely for the complaint.
  • Foreign material or possible contamination: Stop consuming the product and contact Heineken directly. Seek appropriate medical assistance if someone is injured or becomes ill.
  • Retail refund or exchange: Contact the retailer about its purchase and return policy and report a separate product-quality concern to Heineken when appropriate.
  • Promotion, rebate or sweepstakes: Review the official rules for that specific promotion and use the support route provided there.
  • Where to buy: Use Heineken’s current online beer finder.
  • Heineken 0.0 question: Use the same official Heineken brand contact and check the exact product page for current product information.

Product Safety and Privacy

If a bottle is broken, a can is leaking, a seal appears damaged or a beverage contains suspected foreign material, stop consuming it and keep the remaining product and packaging in a safe place. Do not deliberately consume more of a questionable beverage to confirm a problem.

Do not publish your home address, telephone number, email address, payment information, complete promotion entry information or other sensitive data in the public review section. Heineken’s U.S. alcohol-related websites and communications are intended for people of legal drinking age.

Heineken Product Quality Complaints

Contact Heineken if a beer appears different from what you reasonably expect, including problems involving:

  • Flat or unusually low carbonation
  • Unexpected taste or odor
  • Damaged bottles or cans
  • Leaking containers
  • Broken glass
  • Damaged seals or caps
  • Foreign material
  • Packaging defects
  • Questions about freshness

Keep as much product information as possible before contacting support. Useful details can include:

  • Exact Heineken product
  • Bottle, can or keg size
  • Package quantity
  • Date or production markings
  • UPC or barcode
  • Retailer and location
  • Purchase date
  • Receipt, if available
  • Photos of the package or problem

Do not discard the affected container or outer package until Heineken has had an opportunity to tell you whether additional information is needed.

Flat or Bad-Tasting Heineken

Beer quality can be affected by age, storage conditions, light exposure, heat and damaged packaging. Heineken’s current FAQ recommends storing Heineken in a cool, dry location away from direct light and heat.

If a newly purchased beer appears flat, has an unusual taste or smells different from other Heineken products you have purchased, keep the package and contact Heineken rather than assuming the product is normal.

For a retail purchase, you can also contact the store. Alcohol-return policies can vary by retailer and jurisdiction, so the retailer can explain what options apply to the transaction while Heineken handles the manufacturing or product-quality concern.

Broken Heineken Bottle or Damaged Can

Handle broken glass carefully and keep children and pets away from the area. Do not drink from a container when broken glass or damage could have affected the beverage.

Photograph:

  • The damaged container
  • The remaining package
  • The outer carton
  • Any identifying codes
  • Visible damage before cleanup when it is safe to do so

Contact the retailer about the transaction and Heineken about a possible packaging or distribution-quality problem.

Foreign Material in a Heineken Product

If you find an unexpected object or suspected foreign material in a bottle, can or keg, stop consuming the beverage and preserve the product safely.

Contact Heineken with the package information and photographs. Do not mail the product or object to the White Plains office unless the company gives you specific instructions and an appropriate destination.

If someone is injured, becomes ill or may have swallowed glass or another dangerous object, obtain appropriate medical assistance instead of waiting for ordinary customer service.

Heineken Retail Returns and Refunds

Heineken is sold by grocery stores, liquor retailers, convenience stores, restaurants, bars and online alcohol-delivery services. The retailer generally controls the original purchase transaction.

For a refund or exchange:

  1. Keep the receipt when available.
  2. Keep the affected product and package if it is safe to do so.
  3. Contact the seller and ask about its applicable policy.
  4. Contact Heineken separately when the issue involves product quality or packaging.

Do not send beverages or packaging to HEINEKEN USA’s corporate office unless a company representative specifically instructs you to do so.

Heineken Promotions, Rebates and Sweepstakes

Heineken regularly operates promotions, sweepstakes and event programs. Each offer can have its own eligibility rules, participating states, deadlines and support instructions.

If you have a problem with a promotion:

  • Keep the offer name
  • Save the official rules
  • Keep the submission confirmation
  • Save qualifying receipt information when required
  • Take screenshots of error messages
  • Use the contact route listed for that specific promotion

Do not assume that HEINEKEN USA’s general corporate number can access every third-party rebate or sweepstakes system.

Heineken Product Availability

Heineken’s current U.S. website includes a beer finder showing nearby retailers and online purchasing options.

Availability can differ by package size, product, retailer and location. Current U.S. Heineken products include Heineken Original, Heineken Silver, Heineken Light and Heineken 0.0 products.

If a particular package or variety disappears from a local store, check the official beer finder or ask the retailer whether the product is temporarily unavailable.

Heineken 0.0 Customer Service

Questions about Heineken 0.0 can use the same Heineken and HEINEKEN USA support routes listed above.

Heineken’s current U.S. product lineup includes Heineken 0.0 along with newer zero-alcohol products. Because formulas, package sizes and availability can change, use the exact product page and package in your possession when checking nutrition or ingredient information.

If a Heineken 0.0 container is damaged, leaking, flat or otherwise appears defective, keep the package codes and report it in the same way as another Heineken product-quality complaint.

Heineken Ingredients and Product Information

Heineken’s current FAQ identifies the principal ingredients in Heineken Original as water, barley malt and hops, with Heineken’s A-yeast used in fermentation.

The same FAQ identifies Heineken Original as 5% alcohol by volume in the United States.

Other Heineken varieties can have different alcohol, calorie, carbohydrate and ingredient information. Check the label and the current official page for the exact product rather than applying Heineken Original information to Heineken Light, Silver or 0.0.

Heineken Customer Reviews and Complaints

CustomerServiceNumbers.com currently displays a 2.8 out of 5 rating for Heineken based on 8 submitted reviews.

The older visible reviews include several complaints from 2016 about a specific Heineken advertising campaign. Another visible 2016 submission asks Heineken to identify an unexpected plastic object found inside a keg after the beer had been consumed.

Because the review sample is small and the visible complaints are approximately a decade old, they should not be treated as evidence of a current overall Heineken customer-service trend. They are individual consumer experiences and comments.

If you have recently contacted Heineken, leave a review below describing whether the issue involved product quality, packaging, a promotion, retailer purchase or customer support, along with the support route used, response time and resolution.

Do not publish private contact information, payment details, complete promotion information or sensitive personal information.

Heineken, The Heineken ad with Neal Patrick Harris requesting to flip the grillman’s meat is very offensive to me, therefore, it must be discontinued immediately. Congratulations – you just blew off another Heineken beer drinker.

Heineken Disappointing Issue

March 29, 2016

Heineken, 2month ago I bought the kegel beer from a store and after we finshed the kegel, I heard something rolling. I opened the kegel and found a white plastic bottle (looks like white baby bottle) I’m just curios what is it? I can provide picture too upon request. I have some idea where its coming from, but I wanted to know from Heineken. Thank you.
