New lager launched

Skol Lager, a major player in the international beer market, has just been launched in Malta by Simonds Farsons Cisk plc.

In the UK, one of the most important beer markets in the world, Skol is the number one value-for-money lager and sector leader in the take-home market, SFC said.

Skol is being brewed and packaged in Malta under licence from Carlsberg-Tetley and will be available in 33cl and 50cl cans, 50cl bottles and on draught in most leading bars and liquor stores in Malta and Gozo.

In Malta, Skol will be following the same pricing direction as that established in other countries and will be offering the Maltese consumer an international quality beer at a very competitive price.

"The acquisition of a licence to brew and bottle this beer in Malta is yet another proof of the high esteem in which the capabilities of the Farsons brewers are held by Carlsberg-Tetley, one of the most prestigious brewing companies in the world," Louis Farrugia, group chief executive said.
