Soar into the Year of the Dragon 2024 With Carlsberg’s Exclusive Chinese New Year Cans And Bottles!

Celebrate ‘Brewing Prosperity Together’ this Chinese New Year while enjoying Prosperity & Smoothness throughout the festive season

[PRESS RELEASE]

SHAH ALAM, 2 January 2024 – Carlsberg’s CNY campaign ‘Brewing Prosperity Together’ is back with another exciting array of artist-edition festive packaging, captivating events, and exclusive promotions that promise to bring people together in the spirit of celebration. The essence of ‘Brewing Prosperity Together’ or 合家团圆，喜乐龙龙is aimed at elevating much-anticipated reunions with loved and dear ones whilst ushering in prosperity and smoothness for the year ahead.

The brewer's highly sought-after annual artist-edition packaging, designed by award-winning artist Ofen Hu, reflects the vibrant energy of the Year of the Dragon. There is also an added surprise to Hu's contemporary twist on traditional art, where a special ink transforms the dragon pearl on chilled cans from yellow to auspicious orange at the perfect drinking temperature of 6°C. The number 6, considered lucky in Feng Shui, also adds cultural significance, symbolizing happiness and blessings. As family and friends gather to herald the arrival of good fortune and wealth in the year ahead, Carlsberg makes each sip a celebration of artistry and auspicious beginnings.

The charming design adorning the bottles and cans of Carlsberg Danish Pilsner, which signifies prosperity, and Carlsberg Smooth Draught, representing greetings of smoothness, depicts a captivating narrative of the Wood Dragon, rousing from its slumber in the tender embrace of Spring. The dragon is portrayed moving with grace and fluidity through the serene clouds, swaying its tail playfully as it chases its dragon pearl, a mystical symbol of cosmic harmony, while its scales transform into beautiful flowers, bringing everyone an abundance of luck. The dynamic colors in the artwork also exude the limitless vitality of the season, encapsulating the essence of revitalization, wealth, and happiness.

“Carlsberg has always been synonymous with celebrations, and we hope that this coming lunar new year, every moment is made #BestWithCarlsberg. This CNY, we continue 'Brewing Prosperity Together' with our consumers, and we wish them a fantastic year filled with good fortune, health, and happiness. Even our artist-edition packaging extends across Malaysia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, representing our desire to brew prosperity together across the region. May the Year of The Dragon bring success for everyone and let us soar into a great year ahead,” shared Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia.
