Carlsberg invites consumers to bask in the beauty of artistically crafted Carlsberg Danish Pilsner and Carlsberg Smooth Draught artist-edition Chinese New Year (CNY) bottles and cans. The creative artwork is an expression of new beginnings and celebrations, inviting all to raise a toast to abundant blessings. Themed ‘Brewing Prosperity Together’, this coming Chinese New Year is made more auspicious with the Chinese characters ‘一起發’ or read in Chinese Pinyin as ‘178’ in numeric code, as the year 2025 marks Carlsberg’s 178th anniversary globally. A standout feature of this masterpiece is a striking snake motif, with Carlsberg’s iconic hop leaf masterfully reimagined as its head, gracefully weaving its way through a vibrant tapestry of blooming peonies, orchids, and delightful fireworks.
The creative fusion of the traditional Chinese Zodiac Snake with the contemporary hop leaf tastefully accentuates traditional beer-drinking occasions made #BestwithCarlsberg. This modern CNY festive packaging is the imaginative workings of the acclaimed, award-winning artist duo YAO from Malaysia and Su Su from China, both part of the renowned 1983ASIA outfit. The outcome is a creation that transcends cultural boundaries, radiating themes of renewal, joy, and good fortune.
Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia, expressed, “This Year of the Snake, we are thrilled to embody the essence of ‘Brewing Prosperity Together’ as Carlsberg goes beyond brewing great beers; it’s about creating experiences that bring people together in joy and harmony as we enter a promising new year. We hope this collection becomes a meaningful part of every celebration, adding elegance, prosperity, and a touch of smoothness to life’s most treasured moments. Here’s to a year that is truly #BestWithCarlsberg!”
