It's been 10 years since the Heineken Group acquired the beer operations of Mexico's Fomento Económico Mexicano.It also put Heineken in charge of some of the consortium's Mexican beer brands, including Dos Equis, Sol, and Tecate.Now, a man has filed a lawsuit alleging that Heineken has misled customers into thinking that the beer isn't really Mexican.The plaintiff says he wouldn't have been willing to pay $1 per can if he'd known the beer was made in Holland. .According to Tecate's website, the beer has been brewed in the city of Tecate, Mexico for more than 60 years.But it is possible that Heineken temporarily moved production of Tecate to Holland during COVID.The particulars of that brewing arrangement will now be up to the courts to unravel
