Teams wearing red win more – that was the view of legendary Liverpool FC manager Bill Shankly when he famously swapped his team’s white shorts and socks for red ones, a choice that still stands today and has become iconic in world football.

To celebrate Carlsberg’s record-breaking sponsorship of Liverpool FC to an extended 31 consecutive seasons – the longest partnership in Premier League history– Carlsberg Malaysia is giving away 9 bottles of the long-awaited Carlsberg Red Barley as a special treat for supporters of the Reds.

Carlsberg Red Barley is a visually stunning beer created as a homage to Shankly’s winning inspiration. Not only is the bottle, label and cap red, the beer itself is a crimson red!

In conjunction with the upcoming match on 2 June between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspurs, Carlsberg Malaysia will be bringing these limited-edition bottles to five Probably The Best Viewing Parties across the Klang Valley where fans can stand a chance to bring one home simply by predicting and winning via a lucky draw at the end of the match.

The five Probably The Best Viewing Parties will be held from the night of 1 June to the early hours of 2 June, which is when the match between Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspurs will be broadcasted live. These are at Thirsty Bar in 3 Two Square, Petaling Jaya; Score @ The Roof in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya; Home & Away in Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur; The Highlander’s Kitchen & Bar in Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya; and Dukes & Duchess at Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. Due to demand, fans are encouraged to reserve tables beforehand at the outlet of their choice to get the best seats to watch the nail-biting match over ice-cold Carlsberg.

Unlike other ‘red’ beers such as red ales or beers with fruit added, Carlsberg Red Barley is a limited-edition 4.5% ABV (alcohol by volume) pilsner that gets its distinctive colour from a barley variety that is specially curated and bred by the scientists at the Carlsberg Research Laboratory, giving it the clean, crisp and slightly hoppy taste expected from a traditional pilsner. Due to the barley’s commercial rarity, Carlsberg Red Barley was produced in very limited quantities for the global market.
