1664 Blanc today owns the centre stage of the country’s wheat beer development as consumers prefer its premium quality, iconic blue bottle and refreshing taste that comes with a fruity twist.  Building on the runway success of the French’s wheat beer in product innovations, Carlsberg Malaysia launches a brand-new variant, 1664 Rosé, a wheat beer with a hint of raspberry, sharing good taste with consumers. Santé! (Cheers)  

Malaysia is the second Asian market after China to launch 1664 Rosé. This product launch, amid the challenging backdrop of pandemic, shows the brewer’s commitment in constantly offering quality innovation and its confidence in driving premiumisation. “We are very encouraged by 1664 Blanc’s performance in the trade, especially in the off-trade, and hence made up our mind to sharing more good taste and giving more choices to wheat beer consumers with a new variant – 1664 Rosé,” Clini added   

At the media launch today, members of the media, business partners and guests were treated to an immersive French drinking culture, music, ambience and wheat beer-pairing cuisine, truly a playfully elegant experience that brings Paris to Kuala Lumpur with a twist!
