Heineken Silver Embossed Beer Glass

A chunky Heineken Silver tumbler in faintly green-tinted glass. The front has a bright red star with "SILVER" printed down through it in sky blue, under a small blue star and the Heineken name. Around it, raised lettering and a big embossed Heineken logo across the lower half catch the light. A ridge around the middle and two thumb dimples on the sides make it easy to grip. It's a great everyday glass for cold drinks, or a fun piece for a home bar shelf.

Heineken's red star has been part of the brand since the very beginning, and nobody knows exactly where it came from. One theory says medieval brewers used the star as a charm to protect their brew. Another says four points stand for barley, hops, water and yeast, and the fifth stands for the magic of brewing. Heineken Silver itself is fairly young: it was launched in Vietnam in 2019 as a smoother, easy-drinking version of the classic lager.
