A distinctive luxury and super-premium quality craft brew with rich and exquisite taste from Belgium was finally launched in Malaysia recently. It was my honor to attend the Affligem launch dinner at Hilton Kuala Lumpur recently. Every bottle of Affligem is double fermented with a recipe still pertinent to today’s tastes and lifestyle, since 1074.

A little bit introductions about Affligem, the beer was first brewed in Belgium by six knights who in 1074. They gave up the pursuit of war and committed themselves to purity, to the art of brewing beer. They were rewarded with a precious discovery; a taste so pure, unique and full character that they dedicated the rest of their lives to it.

Well, to me Affligem craft beer is solid, bodied and lifestyle. The double fermentation give the beer a mature and sophisticated fruity taste; finer carbonation and longer shelf life.
