    Beerlicious starts brewing more

    A year after introducing Australian craft beer to Thailand, Beerlicious has partnered with Canadian brewery Molson Coors International to introduce Cobra Premium beer.

    Initially the company offered six craft beers from Bridge Road Brewers, an award-winning small-batch brewery near Melbourne. It soon expanded to 10 different beers from the brewery, and has just introduced a range of Christmas brews.

    “We chose to work with Bridge Road Brewers as it is a family business, conceived by a father and son who focus on traditional brewing techniques,” says Beerlicious MD/founder Niran Khanijou.

    Cobra Premium beer, brewed in the UK for Molson Coors, has won more than 94 gold medals at the international Monde Selection awards.

    “Our immediate plans are to introduce not only Cobra but also King Cobra, a ‘champagne lager’ in an impressive 750ml bottle, to the Thai market over Christmas,” says Khanijou. King Cobra has won the Grand Gold award, the highest accolade, at Monde Selection.

    “Our Australian selection will have a limited stock of the two seasonal beers Fat Man, Red Suit, Big Sack and Magical Christmas Unicorn, a vanilla ice-cream ale.”

    Beerlicious products are available at select Bangkok restaurants and craft-beer venues as well as branches of Central Food Hall, Gourmet Market and Tops.

  • Gourmet Market to open at Bangkok subway station

    Gourmet Market to open at Bangkok subway station

    Working with Bangkok Metro Network (BMN), The Mall Group will open a Gourmet Market at Lat Phrao subway station.

    The MRT serves more than 240,000 passengers each day, with the Lat Phrao station being a key transit point with a large parking lot.

    The outlet is the fourth outside the group’s shopping complexes as the retailer seeks to position stores that can capture more passing trade. It is in the park-and-ride area of the Ratchadaphisek Road station and is set to open in September.

    Group executive VP Chamnarn Maytaprechakul says the collaboration is part of the company’s transformation to provide its services through different channels.

    “The three Gourmet Market outlets that already sit outside our complexes have received a warm welcome from customers, and we predict they will thrive with double-digit sales growth, compared with the single-digit growth of our stores inside malls.”

    Its established Gourmet Market outlets can be found in Terminal 21 at the Asok intersection, in The Promenade shopping complex on Ram Intra Road, and in The Crystal SB Ratchapruek community mall.

    Other business opportunities being explored by The Mall Group include delivery service, online shopping and e-payment.
