Dutch brewing giant Heineken NV experienced strong growth in beer sales throughout the Asia-Pacific region, including Cambodia, during the first quarter of 2016, a company representative said yesterday.

“We experienced double-digit growth versus the industry growth that is broadly in line with GDP growth,” said Mark Campbell, director of regional corporate relations for Heineken Asia Pacific.

He explained that consolidated sales volume of Heineken beverages – including its Tiger, ABC, Anchor and Crown brands – topped 5.8 million hectolitres (mhl) during the first quarter of 2016, a 31 per cent increase over the same period a year earlier. Sales of the company’s flagship Heineken brand grew 5.2 per cent to 1.6 mhl during the period.

Pretty ordinary beer anywhere. Not horrible; not near top of the list.

Bit like the KFC of beers, OK when desperate, but there are better beers available ?
