Carlsberg Smooth Draught turned up the heat and cooled it down in the smoothest way, as CarlsCrib Smooth Edition drew approximately 5,000 guests to Sentul Depot for the flagship finale of World of Smooth 2025 across two days. The immersive hangout brought to life everything Malaysians love about the spicy food culture, pairing fiery food with the smoothest beer in town and delivering an experience made for good vibes and great company.
“With World of Smooth 2025, we are levelling up the Spicy Trail journey. Food is at the heart of the Malaysian culture, and our passion for spicy flavours deserves to be celebrated alongside the effortlessly smooth brew that is Carlsberg Smooth Draught. At Carlsberg, it is always about more than just beer, it is about delivering experiences that are unique, cool and right on trend. From spicy food collabs to the coolest tunes, this campaign brings together everything that is made #BestWithCarlsberg,” said Olga Pulyaeva, Marketing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia.
In addition to Smooth Street, guests explored three other themed areas inspired by Chinese, Indian and Thai flavours, each serving favourites across various food vendors. The first 500 guests each day received a complimentary Spicy Passport, unlocking a smooth and spicy tasting journey that paired spicy bites with ice cold Carlsberg Smooth Draught at every turn. From Mala Chicken and Bo bo Ji to Pani Puri, Squid Balls and cooling Mini Ice Cream, visitors discovered a curated selection of spicy flavours that brought the campaign idea to life.
Heat moved from the streets to the stage with six music acts from Hong Kong, Malaysia, Italy and Thailand igniting Sentul Depot with high energy performances. Fans enjoyed Shiga Lin’s Cantopop masterclass, smooth sonic vibes from Tydel, energetic Indian-influenced rhythms from YuNoHoo and electrifying DJ sets from Angemi, Roxy June and DJ Tick featuring Reeve. Live band Fang Kong amplified the atmosphere throughout the evenings with raw, immersive music that set the tone for the night.
Guests also enjoyed hands on cocktail workshops with Soma Bar, interactive games such as the Spicy Hammer and Claw Machine, posed at the AI enhanced photo booth for instant social media content, and explored a variety of eye-catching spots perfect for capturing their #BestWithCarlsberg moments. As part of its #CELEBRATERESPONSIBLY campaign, Carlsberg also partnered with Grab and Buddy Driver to provide guests with ride promotion codes.
