Heineken has continued its foray into lesser-known beer markets by increasing its share in Kazakhstan-based brewer Dinal to 51%.

The Dutch brewer already had a 28% stake in Dinal which has an 8% market share in Kazakhstan with its own brew Tian Shan and Heineken’s Amstel brand.

In the last couple of months Heineken has grown its presence in emerging markets such as Egypt, Lebanon, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama.
