Three Years of Gold: PaperKite and Park Hyatt Celebrate Malaysian Craft Excellence

In a toast to Malaysian craftsmanship and hospitality, PaperKite and Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur unite to offer a distinguished craft beer experience, spotlighting local innovation beneath Asia Pacific’s tallest tower.

Marking an inspiring milestone, Malaysia’s pioneering craft beer PaperKite has celebrated its third consecutive victory at the World Beer Awards with an elegant event atop the iconic Merdeka 118, Asia Pacific’s tallest tower. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of an exciting partnership with the luxurious Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, poised to elevate Malaysia’s craft beer scene to new heights.

Craft beer has steadily captured the imagination of aficionados and casual drinkers alike, drawing them into its rich tapestry of flavours, aromas, and textures—all skilfully brewed with passion and precision. More than just a drink, each sip of craft beer invites a sensory journey, an exploration of stories and heritage, and a shared celebration of craftsmanship that unites people across generations and backgrounds.

Alvin Lim, PaperKite’s visionary founder, emphasises the brand’s deeper purpose: “PaperKite has always been about more than brewing beer. It’s a celebration of our local culture and an expression of pride on the world stage.” The new collaboration with Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur not only broadens the brand’s horizons but also reflects a commitment to Malaysian hospitality—a warm, inclusive spirit that fosters community and shared joy.

Herman Kemp, General Manager of Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, echoes this sentiment: “We believe in curating authentic experiences. Partnering with PaperKite allows us to showcase the remarkable creativity of Malaysia’s homegrown brewers while offering guests a refined and memorable indulgence.”

Central to the celebration was an artfully curated beer and chocolate tasting experience, pairing three of PaperKite’s award-winning brews with exquisite chocolates from Cacao Mixology & Chocolate. The sensory dialogue created was a triumph of artistry, craftsmanship, and local collaboration—a delightful revelation for all who attended.

Since its humble beginnings in 2022, PaperKite has blossomed into a trailblazer within Malaysia’s craft beer industry. The brewery, proudly Malaysian in its identity and fully staffed with local talent, has redefined expectations with a diverse range of six distinctive brews: IPA, Copper Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Pale Ale, Hoppy Lager, and Witbier. These beers stand as a testament not only to technical excellence but to a celebration of Malaysia’s unique cultural heritage.

PaperKite’s unparalleled success at the World Beer Awards, claiming medals for three consecutive years, looms large as a badge of honour—proof positive that world-class, locally rooted craft beer is not just possible, but exemplary.

Brewed specifically for Malaysians with discerning palates seeking something exceptional, PaperKite is a beacon of national pride and enduring innovation.

This partnership and celebration underscore a vibrant narrative of creativity, community, and authenticity that continues to inspire Malaysia’s burgeoning craft beer culture, raising the bar for future generations of brewers and drinkers alike.
