Andrew Herd, Marketing Manager Asia-Pacific at C&C Group, said:“This is a fantastic result for both Tennent’s and Heverlee. We’ve known for a long time that these are both fantastic brews and It’s great that these beers have been ranked as the best in class amongst their peer group in the Asia-Pacific region.
