History

[edit]

Heineken Malaysia Berhad was first incorporated on 24 January 1964 under the name Guinness Malaysia Limited. It has been operating the Sungei Way Brewery which started its operations in 1965. Located in Selangor, the brewery occupies a land area of 23.72 acres (96,000 m2). On 15 April 1966, the name changed to Guinness Malaysia Berhad.

Following the merger of Guinness Malaysia Berhad and Malayan Breweries (Malaya) Sdn Bhd in 1989, a new joint venture company, Guinness Anchor Berhad, was formed. GAPL Pte Ltd served as the holding company whilst Malayan Breweries (Malaya) became a dormant wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

On 7 October 2015, the company announced that Heineken N.V. acquired the remaining shares owned by Diageo Plc in GAPL Pte Ltd. Heineken N.V. controls 100% of GAPL which holds 51% equity interest in Heineken Malaysia Berhad. On 15 March 2016,[2] the company announced its name change from GAB to Heineken Malaysia Berhad effective 21 April 2016, to reflect the corporate identity and branding of the company and its relationship with the Heineken group of companies.

[edit]
  • Heineken

Heineken is a 5% alcohol by volume (ABV) pale lager that is one of Heineken Malaysia's[6] flagship products. It is brewed using an original recipe since 1873 from three main ingredients: water, malt (barley), and hops.[7] The beer is recognisable for its iconic green bottle and red star.[8]

  • Heineken 0.0

Heineken 0.0 is a non-alcoholic malt beverage that was launched in the Netherlands in 2017[9] and introduced in Malaysia in July 2019.[10] The beverage is double brewed with natural ingredients including water, malted barley, hops and yeast then undergoes a de-alcoholisation process.[11]

  • Tiger Beer

Tiger Beer is a 5% ABV Asian lager, first brewed in 1932 by Malayan Breweries Limited in Singapore.[12] Available in over 60 countries worldwide, the lager has won over 50 international awards and accolade.[13]

  • Tiger Crystal

A variant of regular Tiger Beer, Tiger Crystal is a light lager with a 4.2% ABV, brewed at -1 °C giving the beverage a low bitterness and refreshing finish.[6] Initially released as a limited-edition beverage in conjunction with the Lunar Year of the Tiger in Malaysia in 2010,[14] the beverage returned in 2019 after proving to be a success across markets in Asia.[15]

  • Anchor Smooth

Anchor Smooth was the first lager to be brewed locally in Malaysia in 1933.[16] The lager has a 4.0% ABV, brewed to a smooth blend of aromatic hops.[6]

  • Kilkenny

Kilkenny is a 4.0% ABV Irish ale that originated from the city of Kilkenny in Ireland in 1710.[6] The red velvety ale combines the bitterness of hops with the sweetness from the malt along with hints of coffee from the roasted barley. This gives the beverage a mix of fruity, floral and malty aromas.[17]

  • Paulaner

Paulaner is a 5.5% ABV German wheat beer that is brewed using a membrane filtration system which ensures a gentle filtration process to produce a clear beer.[18]

  • Kirin Ichiban

The beer is brewed using a “First Press” method where only the first press of malt is extracted to make the beer.[6] This gives the beverage a crisp, rich flavour that leaves an aftertaste.

Stout

[edit]
  • Guinness

Guinness is a 5.5% ABV stout recognised for its distinct taste and heritage. The beverage sells more than 10 million pints daily worldwide.[20] In 1965, Heineken Malaysia brewed the first Guinness at its Sungei Way Brewery. Heineken Malaysia is a 5-time winner of the “Guinness League of Excellence,” in recognition for being the best brew in the world outside of Dublin.[6]

  • Apple Fox Cider

Launched in 2017, Apple Fox Cider is a 4.5% ABV New Zealand-inspired cider produced in Heineken Malaysia.[23] Using apples sourced from orchards over the world, this gives the cider a crisp texture and intense flavour.[24]
