Heineken has been present at social gatherings since 1873. But nowadays, with everyone cooped up inside their homes, we’ve been forced to find new and different ways of getting together and having a beer. This means that to socialise responsibly we also have to deal with new minor annoyances: glitched screens, poor connections, and photobombs are just some of the new challenges that put hanging out with friends to a test. And we know it’s not the best get-together, but definitely, it’s the best way to get together.
