Heineken

Heineken Lager Beer (Dutch: Heineken Pilsener), or simply Heineken (Dutch pronunciation: [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.

History

On February 15, 1864 Gerard Adriaan Heineken (1841-1893) got his wealthy mother to buy De Hooiberg (The Haystack) brewery in Amsterdam, a popular working-class brand founded in 1592. In 1873 after hiring a Dr. Elion (student of Louis Pasteur) to develop Heineken-A Yeast for Bavarian bottom fermentation, the HBM (Heineken's Bierbrouwerij Maatschappij) was established, and the first Heineken brand beer was brewed. In 1875 Heineken won the Medaille D'Or at the International Maritime Exposition in Paris, then began to be shipped there regularly, after which Heineken sales topped 64,000 hectolitres (1.7 million U.S. gallons), making them the biggest beer exporter to France.

After prohibition was lifted in 1933, Heineken became the first European beer to be imported to the United States.

    Who's It Gonna Be

    by: Honey Cone

    [Spoken intro]
    I've got something on my mind.
    I wanted to say for quite some time.
    I think you know what I wanna say
    'cause I'm sure it's bothering you, too
    You've got me so involved a little too deep,
    and you can't find a way to work it out.
    Well, I go on hung as far as I can,
    and it's time to come for us to talk it out.
    I'm sure she wants to know, too.
    Just what you intend to do?
    Won't you be man enough? Oh, just let me know
    [Chorus]
    Who's it gonna be? Her or me?
    Love can't be shared by three
    You've got to set one of us free
    (2x)
    You can't be toyin' with my heart
    This triangle must be torn apart
    'Cause I can't go on fooling myself
    I'm so unhappy knowing there's someone else
    Heavenly mercy on a woman in need
    Don't tear my life up if you don't wanna be with me
    Let me know (let me know)
    Let me go (let me go)
    Did you say the same thing to her that you said to me?
    Are you touching her like you're touching me?
    Which one of us you need?
    You've gotta make a choice, you gotta choose
    I'm wondering and worrying, upset and confused
    Was it something I said? What have I done wrong?
    If the feeling's gone, don't keep me hangin' on
    Tell me
    [Chorus]
    I'm sharing your loving and kissing
    And I can feel the joy I'm missing
    She come to us like a brick wall
    I'm afraid one day it might fall
    It would hurt me if I lose,
    But it's time for you to choose
