The inspiration came from the APAC region where it became popular amongst workmen. In 1984 the popular product was then co-founded in Europe and ever since then these guys have not looked back becoming one of the most talked about and drank brands internationally.

Culturally, these guys live and breathe their brand, in fact you can feel the passion oozing out of them when you get them talking about their product. With sport events, sport sponsorships and festivals you’ll feel part of this great team and love coming to work every day.
