Through extensive trial and error, I've discovered that the optimal temperature for Heineken is not achieved in the refrigerator. The taste seems to improve quit a bit after it's had a chance to get roughly half way to room temperature. I don't have a thermometer handy, but I'm going to guess that it's roughly 48-52 degrees Fahrenheit. The fridge gets it close to 38 degrees or so (last time I checked) and it's about 65 in my apartment.

Heineken, like any other beer will certainly freeze in a freezer! Check the temperature setting of your freezer.

Everything will freeze if you turn the temperature down low enough. Amazing as it might sound, Heineken does actually contain alcohol - which has a much lower freezing point than water... so it acts as an anti-freeze.
[useless fact alert] freezing alcoholic beverages is technically illegal because when they do freeze the "water" part of the drink freezes and the "alcohol" part stays liquid and can then be poured off. This is basically distillation and is particularly used when making illicit "whiskey" by freezing wine (in Ireland they make potato wine and freeze it to make "poteen" - potato whiskey... highly illegal and liable to take the top of your head off!).

There's something wrong with your freezer. All beer sold in the U.S. should have a low enough alcohol content that it would freeze overnight.

If you set your freezer lower it will definitely freeze. The freezing point of beer, among other things, is likely a bit lower than 32 degrees Fahrenheit (the freezing point of water).

Your freezer isn't cold enough. That's the truth.
It WILL freeze, trust me. You have to have a higher alcohol content than beer to avoid freezing a bottle at 32 degrees C.

Alcohol content prevents the freezing. Truck drivers use rubbing alcohol to pour into their air lines in the winter to prevent (or melt) freezing condensation! Some drinks contain less alcohol and will, however, readily freeae.

Your freezer must be set at a higher temp than mine!
I accidentally freezed beer in my freezer many times.

Alcohol does not freeze at that tempurature! Why do you want frozen beer anyway?

The alcohol content prevents it from freezing.
