Heineken is responsible for several different beer and cider brands including Birra Moretti, Amstel, Cruzcampo, Desperados, Tiger and Old Mount Cider.

There are also different varieties of Heineken beer including:

The "premium lager", which has a 4% ABV, was described as "extra-refreshing" and was lagered at -1°C for a "crisp flavour and subtle finish", Heineken said on it's website.

The drink proved popular among Heineken drinkers, with some describing the beer as "superior" to the original.

One person, reviewing the beer on the Tesco website, said: "Dont normally like heineken but this was surprisingly nice!! Will buy again."

But Heineken has now revealed Heineken Silver has been discontinued as it looks to focus on other beers in its range in 2025.

"Prioritising these brands will allow us to better serve the needs of our customers and consumers moving forward."

This decision didn't seem to go down well with fans.
