Events: Carlsberg Smooth Draught Beer In A Bottle Launch

Many people would really enjoy a cool smooth of a freshly tapped beer; if possible wherever there are and at any time of the day. Carlsberg has specially crafted a brew that delivers the smooth, easy-to-drink experience, the same as you would enjoy a freshly tapped beer. The only difference is it’s in a bottle. Introducing the all-new Carlsberg Smooth Draught that offers consumers a chance to enjoy the smooth sensation of freshly tapped beer anytime, anywhere at an affordable price.

Carlsberg Smooth Draught, is available in a big bottle of 580ml, is a must-have on every beer lovers’ bucket, or quart list. Brewed longer for its signature smoothness with an easy finish, the beautiful golden-hued beer is packaged in an easy to grip bottle with smooth contour lines appearing subtly in the background reinforcing the brew’s uniquely smooth taste. The iconic Carlsberg hop leaf motif embossed on the bottle tastefully accentuates the innovative cold hopping process. It is truly a beauty!

“We are privileged that Malaysia is the pioneer amongst the 140 Carlsberg markets in the world to launch Carlsberg Smooth Draught, a line extension of Carlsberg brand. It is indeed a clever innovation that offers the signature smoothness and easy to drink profile with nice carbonation, just like a freshly tapped beer,” Henrik Juel Andersen, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia commented the launch event.

“Very often, consumers yearn for the smooth sensation of a draught beer but this is not readily available in eateries, food courts and coffee shops that they frequent. Carlsberg Smooth Draught is the answer to many beer lovers’ quests and caters to a consumer preference for the smoothness in a draught beer. It captures the smooth sensation of freshly tapped beer in a bottle, so consumers can now enjoy a smooth brew anytime anywhere at an affordable price,” Andersen added.

Carlsberg uncovered consumers’ deeper insights with the introduction of Carlsberg Smooth Draught as a special edition at hundreds of traditional on-trade outlets in March. Unanimity in consumer response is unmistakable; the brew consistently drew positive feedback and recorded overwhelming repeat orders from the trade. Because consumers love it, Carlsberg will keep it! Carlsberg Smooth Draught is now made a permanent offering under the portfolio brands of Carlsberg Malaysia.

At the launch which was held at the visitor’s lounge of the brewery, trade partners, distributors and members of the media were amused by the transformation of the office space into an outdoor eatery and a beer garden and quenched their thirst with freshly brewed Carlsberg Smooth Draught. Spoilt for the choice of local hawker fare, it was a food roulette paired perfectly with the smooth brew. Stars in the dark sky, sitting in an airy relaxing atmosphere, the guests truly enjoyed sampling Carlsberg Smooth Draught making the launch a smooth head start.

Events: Mixology Cocktails Appreciation Night at ICE Gallery IJM LAND’s Pantai Sentral Park

More than 100 guests followed IJM LAND’s invitation to experience an intimate cocktail session in a unique setting at Pantai Sentral Park’s ICE Gallery. The evening aimed to convey an image of the values of Pantai Sentral Park to the audience, focusing on the things that make life worth living in harmony with nature.

Attendees of the event were welcomed by emcee Maggy Wang who opened the night with an introduction highlighting the distinct location and unique selling features of Pantai Sentral Park, or PSP. 

The new township in the centre of the New Golden Triangle in Klang Valley is also known as Kuala Lumpur’s One and Only Urban Forest City, a name the project truly lives up to thanks to its proximity to a 200-acre forest park that future residents of PSP will be able to use for their recreation and the township’s concept of bringing the community and nature closer together. A short video was also shown outlining more of PSP’s key features like its connectivity to the New Pantai Expressway, pedestrian focussed amenities such as commercial precincts within short walking distances and a Waterfront Park, and PSP’s first two residential phases called Inwood and Secoya Residences.

Senior General Manager of IJM LAND Berhad, Mr. Hoo Kim See, took the stage to talk about the vision behind Pantai Sentral Park and the architectural uniqueness of the ICE Gallery. The inspiration for the IJM Land Centre of Exhibition, or short ICE, came from a natural flow of spaces which has been converted into seemingly organic model displays and sculptures. He described the concept behind the gallery as “a multifunctional set-up whose flowing spaces create a beautiful backdrop for events of any kind that will leave a memorable and lasting impression on the visitors”.

The team of Pantai Sentral Park invited professional mixologist and 42 Below Cocktail World Cup 2008 Champion Joshua Ivanovic to pamper the sophisticated taste buds of the selected clientele with his premium cocktail creations. Not only did he play his part behind the bar in serving colourful drinks, he also made the stage his own in order to talk about his journey of becoming a world class bartender who worked for acclaimed cocktail bars like Milk and Honey or Mahiki in London. 

Entertainment and educational purposes met when Ivanovic demonstrated his craft to the eyes of the curious audience who may have caught a trick or two they can put to good use at their next cocktail party at home. The master mixologist, representing Cocktail-Solutions and Pernod Ricard Malaysia, understood well how to engage the spectators into his presentation and did not hesitate to answer arising questions.

Invigorated by tasty canapés and cool drinks, all guests were invited to explore the premises of the ICE Gallery. Helpful Pantai Sentral Park staff provided advice and assistance to everyone who wanted to know more about the future development of PSP or the architecture of the gallery. Once finished, Pantai Sentral Park will comprise 13 phases divided into commercial and residential areas that will spread over an area of about 58 acres. Property in the first two residential phases Inwood and Secoya is highly sought after and all those interested in investing should not wait much longer.
