Heineken wants to have Indonesiaits metaverse beer and drink it, too.
The brewer is the latest company, and second beer manufacturer, to jump on the metaverse bandwagon with its Thursday release of Heineken Silver — a "virtual beer" that the company insists is, yes, as dumb as it sounds. For starters, Heineken is quick to let everyone know, you definitely can't drink whatever this new thing is.
"Our virtual beer is made only from the freshest pixels: no malt, no hops, no yeast, no water, and also, no beer," the company explains. "The result? An unusual & inaccessible premium lager with a tech and meta finish that no one can enjoy."
In fact, you can't do much of anything of substance at the company's new digital brewery located in Decentraland, also unveiled Thursday, other than wander around and watch a boring executive talk. But you can, with the help of Heineken's marketing department, snap and then share some screenshots with (wink wink, nudge nudge) the "cool and relevant hashtag: #awesomeheinekenmarketingstunt"
How do you do, fellow metaverse kids? Credit: Screenshot: Deventraland Lest metaverse diehards miss Heineken's knowing self-effacement, Bram Westenbrink, the global head of Heineken brand, is here to redirect their attention.

"It is a self-aware idea that pokes fun at us and many other brands that are jumping into the metaverse with products that are best enjoyed in the real world."
The digital future's so bright, Heineken's metaverse DJs gotta wear beer-can shades.
