Jaz Beer is here again. (The remix)

Yup, there is a third beer brewer in Malaysia, a Malaysian beer called Jaz. By a company called Napex Corp. It’s gonna battle Guinness Anchor Berhad and Carlsberg Brewery, who together hold 96% of the beer market. GAB is the current market leader, with close to 60%. Not surprising, seeing their better marketing strategies.

Port Klang mari!

Klang mari!

Anyway, Jaz was introduced in ’07, and had its launch (or relaunch) yesterday. A chick that I didnt recognize with her clothes on, Gillian Chung, made an appearance after a chopper circled Sunway Pyramid several times. On-lookers gathered, waiting for it to land close by.

Some Indian dude in front of me was heard saying, “Yarr ah?? Najib ah??!”  Haha!

Make way!

Make way!

Najib lookin cute

Major kecoh when she landed! I’m surprised i got a shot. She did the launch stuff on stage, etc, while i downed an ice cold Jaz. I first had it last year when it didnt taste good.

The producers have come out with version 2. This one tastes a lot better. Smoother, dont smell weird. The finish seems a little bitter after several bottles. My friend says its like when he pops an E – the after-taste that’s there for a few minutes. This beer should never be taken even when a little warm, coz d taste changes. A lot!

The alcohol content is now 5%, down from 5.5%. It’s brewed in Port Klang. The new campaign is called “Jaz it up!”, with a new label. There’s even an FB group. Napex also produces Starker Beer.

The RRP is RM5.50 for the small bottle, and RM10.50 for the large. However, 99 Speedmart sells the large for 8 bucks. But the large is only 600ml, as opposed to d normal size of 640 / 660ml.

Looks like Jaz plans to challenge brands like Skol and Anchor.  There are plans to introduce it to bars and clubs as well. As yet, there are no plans for a draft.

Good luck!

I will if u will baby...

Finally, a cure for hangovers!

My biznez partner Susan sent me a link to this article in the Telegraph about bacon sandwiches being a hangover cure. BACON man. Awesome.

Susan is one of them what I call ‘Sympathizers’ to the cause, and to the rebellion (Hmm… What rebellion? Will think of sumtin soon.). She dont drink, but she helps others lose their livers, and dont mind hangin out with alcos n all. Handy, them Sympathizers. We all know at least one, right?

Unlike those who dont drink (or cant drink) n try to preach to u about how ur ruining yor life, bla bla bla. To whom I say “Kiss my golden-brown ass.”

Or is it more of a Baileys-brown?

Off-topic.

Anyway, after thousands of years of suffering and wasted next-days, the human race has hopefully discovered the holy grail of drinking – a cure for the billions of Morning-After Blues that has tortured the species over millennia.

Shouldn’t they have sorted dis shit out way back when they invented alcohol? Daam. Slackers.

Them researchers (who’ve finally decided to research sumtin useful for once) in UK say concentrated doses of carbohydrates and protein after some “over indulgence” can speed up your metabolism and provide the amino acids needed to start feeling better. (English translation: Eat bacon!!)

Now, another great reason to get smashed

Now, another great reason to get smashed

Here’s what they say: “”Bingeing on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters, but bacon contains a high level of aminos which tops these up, giving you a clearer head.”

They better not be shittin me man. This is a serious issue.

There’s also an article on other cures, all bullshit mumbo-jumbo ones i assume. Like using voodoo dolls in Haiti, pickled sheep’s eye in bloody Mongolia, lemon in your fuckin armpit (Puerto Ricans).

Gosh, looks like no one on earth has figured it out. Amazing.

For me, only sleep works. If i open my eyes feelin like i’m still in Zouk, hit da sack again right away. But a bad hangover is a bad hangover. Just gotta ride it out.

Have tried hair of da dog. Fuckdatshit. Only got me more high and more moody.

So looks like me n d boyz have been doin it almost right. After a heavy night out,

Stir it up...

Stir it up…

we get busy frying some pork luncheon meat to stuff our faces with.

But dis bacon sandwich thing sounds good. Coz bacon rocks. (If u haven’t yet, u gotta try d bacon ba kwa. Fuh!)

Will organize a hangover and report d results. Volunteers r welcome.
