Beer in the Netherlands mostly comprises pale lagers like Heineken and Grolsch. Heineken is the world's second-largest brewer.^[1]

While pale lager makes up the majority of beer in the Netherlands, Dutch brewers also produce witbier (wheat beer) and Bok, closely related to German Bock.

The Netherlands exports the most beer of any country in the world – approximately 50% of production.^{[2][clarification needed]} In 2004, almost 1,300 million litres were exported out of a total production of 2,300 million litres.^{[citation needed]}
