About the brand

About Desperados

Heineken took over the French brewery Fischer in 1996, a year after Desperados was created there. The old brewery in Schiltigheim closed at the end of 2009; since then Desperados has been brewed at several sites in Europe.

Tequila is a protected designation of origin from Mexico. In 2017 the Mexican Tequila Regulatory Council therefore raised questions about the mention of tequila on the Desperados label.

Desperados is a beer with added flavouring, not a mix of beer and spirits.
