Complementing this year’s festival theme – It’s raining chefs!, that depicts fine dining experience in Malaysia is all about the best cuisines and best service standards with great fun, the Brewer presents the best selection of beer, wine and spirits brands as the ideal companion for gourmet diners who indulge in ‘specially-paired’ beer and wine dining experience.

Carlsberg Malaysia is a dynamic brewer that offers seven of the world’s top international beer brands. The brewer has been active in promoting the local F&B industry and had supported the past MIGF events as ‘beer sponsor’. At the MIGF 2006, Carlsberg Malaysia featured the exclusive Jacobsen specialty beer collection namely the Jacobsen Bramley Wit and Jacobsen Saaz Blonde, whilst in 2008, Carlsberg Gold, a specially brewed beer in conjunction with the Carlsberg’s 160th anniversary, was presented as the official beer.

For the festival this year, Carlsberg Malaysia presents its latest introduction – Kronenbourg 1664 (lager in 5% ABV), the No.1 super premium beer brand in France, and its extension Kronenbourg Blanc (wheat beer in 5% ABV) as ‘beer sponsor’; and complemented by imported beers from Belgium Leffe Brune (Abbey in 6.5% ABV), Asahi Super Dry, the No.1 imported beer brand in Japan (lager in 5% ABV), Savanna Dry Cider imported from South Africa (Cider in 5.5% ABV), and the No.1 distributed ice wine in Global Travel Retails from Canada Inniskillin ice wine (Dessert Wine in 9.5% ABV) at the 28 participating top-notch restaurants throughout the month-long festival in October.
