Heineken Light Burger Beast Challenge from 2017 – 2019

Heineken Light Burger Beast Challenge

The Heineken Light Burger Beast Challenge began its life as the Amstel Light Burger Beast Challenge. Every January & February in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 I visited anywhere between 15 and 25 restaurants and paired their signature burger with an Amstel Light (2015 & 2016) or a Heineken Light (2017, 2018 & 2019).

Every year, I would then choose the burger that paired best with a Heineken Light Beer. On most occasions, I chose which burger I thought might pair best but there were restaurants that had a special running just for the sweepstakes.

While that was going on, Burger Beast Readers could submit their burger pictures, and the winner would receive 2 tickets to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash.

All the winners and participants are listed below. You can also check out all the burger posts under the Instagram hashtag #burgerbeastsweeps
