Last night, Asia Pacific Breweries
Singapore (APBS) launched a trade-focused programme for Tiger Crystalto strengthen
its foothold in the local premium beer category @ Cocoon Bar, Indochine, Forbidden City. The campaign has been
developed with the underlying strategy of targeting modern-day drinkers who are
spoilt for choice with the variety of premium beer options currently available in
the marketplace and is starting with a trade engagement initiative.
Tiger Crystal, a refreshing and full-flavoured
easy-to-drink beer, was launched in Singapore by APBS in December 2010 and is
an award-winning lager made with the finest
hops from the United States; high quality malted barley and yeast from Europe.
“The local premium beer market has
been very competitive. We are embarking on this trade campaign to not only
strengthen our relationships with our partners, but also to find new ways of
working with them to bring out great beer experiences. The number of beer
lovers is increasing and many are keen to explore new tastes. Tiger Crystal
with its light, refreshing, crisp notes makes it the perfect thirst quencher
for many various settings, be it a night out with friends or over a simple
chill out” --- Rene de Monchy, Head of Marketing, APBS
In the coming weeks,
APBS will organise a few events for their trade partners to highlight the essence of Tiger Crystal as well as extending the reach of Tiger Crystal to younger crowds. I got to preview a couple of special ways you can handle the beer last night.
Model, Iris showcasing the Tiger Crystal Bar Kit. It's a tool belt that houses a bottle opener, 3 pens, a torch light and addtional pockets to hold stuffs.
They kicked off with a short introduction and there was a flaring performance. Normally they don't do this with beer and I find this idea pretty interesting and refreshing.
Another highlight of the night, would be the collaboration with Ashvin Shawn Kishore, the Lead Molecular
Mixologist of Bar Essentials to present a beer tasting experience with a twist.

What's that brewing? Well, with the use of liquid nitrogen,
we got the beer in this icy, muchy, sorbet form.
Scoop a spoon of the "sorbet" into a glass of Tiger Crystal.
Pour in some liquid nitrogen.
And the drink's all ready. Wait for the mist to clear before you drink!
Thank you babes, for serving us great Tiger Crystal all night. :)
I got to experience first-hand, unlocking the various
taste notes of Tiger Crystal at diiferent levels of chilling. At different temperatures, the drink tasted different and even the aroma is a little different. I loved it when it was served at its coldest and I'm in love with this Liquid Nitrogen Tiger Crystal!
Big thank you to Shawn to opening my eyes to molecular mixology.
Cheers to Tiger Crystal for the great evening!
