SHAH ALAM, 7 April 2022 – Delivering yet another innovative showcase, Carlsberg invites beer lovers on a “Real Spicy, Real Smooth” drinking and dining exBEERience campaign this scorching hot April, and May. Carlsberg Smooth Draught, together with Penang-born Chef Mano Thevar of the Michelin-starred restaurant Thevar, presents boundary-defying cuisine paired perfectly with its signature smooth brew and promises an evening of unforgettable smooth and spicy gastronomy.    

Conceptualised for those with a natural affinity for beer and spice, this campaign explores the realm of creative modern Indian cuisine elevated by the silky-smooth finish of Carlsberg Smooth Draught. Bringing together Malaysians’ long standing love affair with all levels of spiciness, complemented with the freshly tapped beer, this specially curated volcanic feast pushes the limits and introduces unique ways of enjoying everyone’s favourite brew.

“Carlsberg has always prided itself in giving consumers more occasions to celebrate as well as contemporary ways to enjoy new experiences with our beer. This ‘Real Spicy, Real Smooth’ dining event with Chef Mano is part of that exciting endeavour where we can delight beer lovers in an engaging and explorative way. Working with a masterful talent like Chef Mano also gives us an opportunity to elevate and innovate beer drinking occasions for today’s modern drinker,” said Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia. 

According to Chef Mano Thevar, “Carlsberg Smooth Draught’s signature smoothness and refreshing hoppy taste make it a great pairing beer to the spicy elements of Indian-fusion food. So much so that when this partnership came about, I was really excited to get on board. The idea is to bring food lovers on a journey that will fire-up the senses and ignite palates with unexpected combinations of fiery flavours, and I can say with full confidence that this dining exBEERience is one dinner series beer lovers are not going to want to miss.”   

Capturing an array of Indian flavours in shapes and forms never seen before, Chef Mano has crafted a full four-course dinner and introduces fierce new concoctions infused with Carlsberg Smooth Draught, based on the beer’s flavour profile. Guests will have a choice of chicken, seafood or a vegetarian main along with a small opening snack, an appetiser and dessert at the end, paired seamlessly with Carlsberg Smooth Draught throughout the evening for a smooth easy finish.
