Some props are rare. This one is simply well chosen. In No Time To Die, Heineken lager beer stands on the bar of the Jamaican club where Daniel Craig’s Bond, Felix Leiter and Logan Ash sit down together. It is a Dutch pale lager, 5% alcohol by volume, sold in a green bottle with a red star, and it has appeared in Bond’s world since 1997. Craig also fronted a Heineken commercial tied to the film, but the beer itself needs no introduction. Our No Time To Die page has the rest of the film’s finds.
Serving Heineken lager beer now
This is a beer for the hour before dinner, not a drink to be fussed over. We would serve it very cold, straight from the bottle on a warm evening or poured into a clean, chilled glass at the table. It suits salted, simple food: grilled fish, good bread and cheese, something from the barbecue. Keep it in the fridge rather than the freezer, and buy it in small quantities so it is always fresh. It is a sensible choice for an evening when you want the company, rather than the drink, to be the subject. More in Food & Drink, and in the wider world of Craig’s Bond.
