KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA 8 Oct, 2025 – PaperKite, Malaysia’s first gold award-winning craft beer brand celebrates local craftsmanship, rich culture, and remarkable achievements that have led them onto the global stage. In an exclusive celebration for winning the World Beer Award three years in a row, held at the crown of Merdeka 118, Asia Pacific’s tallest tower, PaperKite announced its partnership with Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur to elevate craft beer experiences.
In recent years, craft beer has piqued the interest of a diverse audience due to its wide array of flavours, aromas, and textures that are crafted with passion and precision. Each pour offers a unique experience, transforming the act of drinking into a sensory journey. For many, savoring a craft beer transcends taste, it’s an opportunity to explore a narrative, appreciate the craftsmanship, and indulge in a communal experience that brings people together over shared appreciation towards quality and innovation.
“PaperKite has always been about more than just brewing, it’s about crafting stories and experiences that reflect local pride with global standards,” said Alvin Lim, Founder of PaperKite. “Our collaboration with Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur allows us to share our craft, our culture, and our pride with more people while inspiring other Malaysian brands to pursue excellence beyond borders.”
He added “More than a business collaboration, the partnership also reflects the warmth of Malaysian hospitality and joy of community. It provides Malaysians the opportunity to enjoy their favourite local brews in a fresh, sophisticated setting, enriching the overall experience.”
Herman Kemp, General Manager of Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur adds, “This collaboration is a toast to Malaysia’s finest homegrown brews with world-class hospitality. At Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, we believe in creating authentic experiences for our guests, allowing them to enjoy the best of every moment. Partnering with PaperKite lets us celebrate local talent and creativity by giving our guests a taste of a truly world-class local craft beer.”
At the heart of the celebration was the specially curated beer and chocolate pairing experience. Guests were guided through a journey of discovery where they explored three of PaperKite’s award-winning beer styles paired with the finest creations from Cacao Mixology & Chocolate. This not only unlocked a surprising new world of flavours but celebrated the artistry of craft and connection.
PaperKite has since grown from its humble beginnings in 2022 into a brand recognized both locally and internationally. Founded with a mission to redefine the local craft beer scene, its achievements not only highlight the brand’s pursuit of excellence but also elevate the profile of Malaysia’s craft beer industry. PaperKite’s journey continues to inspire Malaysians to push boundaries, defy expectations, and craft something exceptional.
Designed for modern drinkers seeking more than the ordinary, the brewery offers six locally brewed beers: IPA, Copper Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Pale Ale, Hoppy Lager and Witbier. Drawing inspiration from local culture rather than overseas models, and employing a fully Malaysian team, PaperKite demonstrates that Malaysians can create world-class craft beer rooted in their own identity.
Furthermore, the dedication to local identity has allowed PaperKite’s beers to secure multiple medals at the prestigious World Beer Awards. The brewery became the first Malaysian craft brewery to win a medal in 2023, 2024 and 2025. PaperKite is brewed only for thirsty Malaysians who simply want better beer.
