Kota Kinabalu, 6 August 2019 – Beer drinkers can rejoice! Carlsberg now has a new look yet keeping its signature same great brew. Beer lovers can look forward to Probably The Best Beer In The World which now comes with practical betterments to deliver an even better beer enjoyment experience!

Carlsberg’s refreshed Danish inspired brand identity, which balances simplicity with contemporary design, is applied across its products, packaging, communications, visibilities and amenities to deliver a better beer experience for all beer lovers.

The brand’s new look and feel is most visible on its packaging, coupled with three practical improvements, that sees a new Fresh Cap on Carlsberg bottles, the same great brew served in premium-looking stem glasses, and cans that come in Easy-to-Open packs. These “betterments” are a result of Carlsberg’s efforts and belief in constant improvement and refinement in progressive pursuit of better beer. Probably The Best Beer in the World just keeps getting better!

Ted Akiskalos, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia, commented, “At Carlsberg, we care about how our beer is made and enjoyed, a constant ‘pursuit of better’ inspired by our founder J.C. Jacobsen throughout our history of more than 170 years. From our yeast and barley to our packaging and glassware, we believe it must always be possible to do things better, hence the introduction of a new look and feel for Carlsberg that represents our ongoing commitment to do so.”

“Loyal Carlsberg drinkers in Sabah can rest assured that while the brand looks modern and new, our beer is still brewed with the same natural ingredients and same attention to quality that gives Carlsberg that same great taste. Carlsberg just keeps getting better with its new look, but same great brew!” added Akiskalos.

Carlsberg’s new Fresh Cap employs a cleverly designed scavenger lining that removes oxygen from the headspace at the top of the bottle, so you get fresher taste up to five-times longer in Carlsberg’s bottled beer.

On the other hand, Carlsberg’s new glass is part of the brand’s new Danish-inspired identity, which balances simplicity with contemporary design and is applied across its products, packaging, communications, visibilities and amenities to deliver a better beer experience for fans of Probably The Best Beer in the World.

What sets Carlsberg’s new stem glass apart from the rest is the laser-engraved, hop leaf-shaped nucleation stamp at the bottom of the glass. The nucleation stamp creates many little pits and peaks where bubbles can form, generating more tiny bubbles that rise to the top. Because the bubbles continually replenish the foam (head), the beer maintains its head for significantly longer. This is important as bubbles help retain the aroma of the beer.

For consumers who purchase Carlsberg cans, you can now open a 6-can pack of Carlsberg in next to no time with the Easy-to-Open perforated shrink wrap, allowing you to enjoy Probably The Best Beer In The World with ease and convenience.
