With lots of exciting cultural experiences to look forward to, you won't wanna miss KL Chinatown Festival happening at REXKL from 29 November to 1 December.

Recognised as one of the best stout beers in the world, Connor's has added to its acclaim by winning several international awards over the past couple of years

In 2023 and 2024, Connor's Stout Porter won several international accolades, including the 2023 and 2024 Gold awards by the Monde Selection and the Gold award at the 2023 World Beer Awards.

Recognition by the Monde Selection Award — running since 1961 — means that a product is of the highest quality. Meanwhile, the World Beer Awards — established in 2007 — honours the very best brews from around the world while promoting excellence across the industry.

These wins have reinforced Connor's Stout Porter's credentials as one of the very best stout beers in the world, which is especially evident in its creamy texture and unique coffee notes.

You can "Taste the Good Times" no matter how you drink Connor's, be it a draft pour, from a bottle, or from a can with the brand's unique Shake Ritual.

In addition to these merits, Connor's also proudly holds the Guinness World Record for "Most people shaking cans simultaneously", a feat that was accomplished on 24 August at REXKL!

As a reminder, the legal drinking age in Malaysia is 21 years old. That means you need to be at least 21 and a non-Muslim in order to buy and consume alcohol. Remember to always #CelebrateResponsibly and in moderation. Do not drink and drive. If you plan to drink, try carpooling with a friend who isn't drinking or catch a cab instead of driving.
