He elaborated that the premium craft beer will be affordable so that everyone can enjoy it, regardless of if they’re from urban or rural areas.
“With that, we also want to make fresh craft beer affordable for everyone,” he said.
The premium 1602 Craft Beer comes in four varieties: lager, pale ale, extra dark, and wheat.
Also present were 1602 Craft Beer founder Dato Sri Lee Kee Lung; 1602 craft Beer Brewery, Corpial CorporationSdn Bhd chairman, Datuk Peter Nasian Ngusie; and board members. — DayakDaily
