Previously, the distribution of beer in Malaysia is mainly distributed by Malayan Breweries Limited which is centred in neighbouring Singapore.[1] Carlsberg establish its first brewery outside Kuala Lumpur in 1970.[2] By 2007, several local breweries began to establish their presence in the country although the demands for commercial beers are much higher than a newly local brands.[1] Beside local productions, most beers in the Malaysian markets are imported from neighbouring countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.
