“Can a Heineken-backed e-commerce platform become the dominant at-home beer destination across Europe by combining mainstream brands, craft marketplace, and home draught hardware?”
Beerwulf launched in 2017 as a direct-to-consumer beer delivery arm of Heineken, initially focused on selling Heineken Group brands. It evolved into a broader craft beer marketplace supporting independent breweries alongside mainstream lagers. The post-COVID shift toward at-home entertainment accelerated growth of its home draught machine segment. Payments infrastructure was consolidated onto Stripe (Connect, Billing, Radar) to manage multi-market complexity across 10 countries.
Beerwulf integrates with QuickBooks Enterprise.
