Beer and Drinks


Tiger

Malayan Breweries Limited (MBL), now known Asia Pacific Breweries, was founded in 1931. Tiger is the company's flagship beer and has been since its creation in 1932 in Malaysia. The beer has always been popular with Europeans, many of whom made up a large section of Malaysia's beer drinking population in the early twentieth century.

Jaz Beer


 Jaz Beer is probably the first beer in Malaysia that is actually brewed specially to cater to Malaysians. Most foreign investors have their own brands, so producing a local brand is not a priority for them. Jaz Beer has been popular in many tourist areas such as Jalan Alor (in Kuala Lumpur) and Batu Feringghi (in Penang), where foreigners tend to prefer a local beer over a foreign brand they can get in their own countries. Jaz is far from inferior, however. The first swig of the beer had a slightly hoppier taste to it but subsequently mouthfuls revealed it to be lighter, crisper and a lot less bitter than most beers.
Compared to some of the usual brands out there, Jaz does manage to hold its own in a taste test, and certainly does not taste like the other beers
 

Starker

  There’s a new beer in town and it claims to be Malaysia’s first fresh beer.
Starker, derived from a German word that means "stronger," revives an old-world style of beer drinking.
Brewed in Malaysia with German technical know-how, Starker prides itself in offering the freshest beer that is brewed, delivered and stored in optimum temperatures.
It has a shelf life of only seven days and is served straight from the keg.

  1. The Wongs are world class distillers. I hope to generate interest for their products in the USA.
