This Chinese New Year, Carlsberg will play on the Mandarin pronunciation of the number 16 (yi liù) and the Chinese term (yi liú) which means excellence, top notch or simply the best.

Four limited-edition festive cans

So Carlsberg’s Chinese New Year campaign, bringing to life the tagline ‘Probably the best Year (20-[yi liú]), rings in the Lunar New Year with four limited edition festive cans that feature a contemporary graphic design – infused with traditional festive elements.

Said Jimmy Toh, General Manager of Carlsberg Singapore, “We took inspiration from our signature Carlsberg series of marketing campaigns launched in 2015, If Carlsberg Did, and imagined that if Carlsberg did Chinese New Year, it would probably be the best year. By doing this, we hope that it would be as superior as Carlsberg – probably the best beer in the world.”

Limited edition cans will be available.

Comprising of themes such as Friendship, Luck and Fortune, the term (yi liú) is used to form traditional Chinese four-character greetings. Along with 20-(yi liú) these designs convey Carlsberg’s well wishes for everyone in the upcoming Year of the Monkey.

These limited edition Carlsberg cans are available at all major supermarkets and hypermarkets during the celebratory period, all over Singapore.

They are exclusively available in the 24-can cartons (323ml per can) with each carton comprising of two designs. And every purchase of a 28-can carton will also entitle the bearer to a free Carlsberg chiller bag.
