Beer

* Heineken Heineken is a 5% alcohol by volume (ABV) pale lager that is one of Heineken Malaysia's flagship products. It is brewed using an original recipe since 1873 from three main ingredients: water, malt (barley), and hops. The beer is recognisable for its iconic green bottle and red star. * Heineken 0.0 Heineken 0.0 is a non-alcoholic malt beverage that was launched in the Netherlands in 2017 and introduced in Malaysia in July 2019. The beverage is double brewed with natural ingredients including water, malted barley, hops and yeast then undergoes a de-alcoholisation process. * Tiger Beer Tiger Beer is a 5% ABV Asian lager, first brewed in 1932 by Malayan Breweries Limited in Singapore. Available in over 60 countries worldwide, the lager has won over 50 international awards and accolade. * 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. Initially released as a limited-edition beverage in conjunction with the Lunar Year of the Tiger in Malaysia in 2010, the beverage returned in 2019 after proving to be a success across markets in Asia. * Anchor Smooth Anchor Smooth was the first lager to be brewed locally in Malaysia in 1933. The lager has a 4.0% ABV, brewed to a smooth blend of aromatic hops. * Kilkenny Kilkenny is a 4.0% ABV Irish ale that originated from the city of Kilkenny in Ireland in 1710. 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. * 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. * Kirin Ichiban Kirin Ichiban is a Japanese 100% malt beer with a 5.0% ABV. Available in more than 40 countries, the beer was first introduced in Malaysia in 2014, making it Heineken Malaysia's first Japanese product in its portfolio. The beer is brewed using a “First Press” method where only the first press of malt is extracted to make the beer. This gives the beverage a crisp, rich flavour that leaves an aftertaste.

In 1965, Heineken Malaysia brewed the first Guinness at its Sungei Way Brewery.
