The rise to stardom and the recognition that comes with being the best-of-the-best is no easy feat – perseverance and dedication are required to hone the art of a perfectly served Heineken®.
Heineken® Star Serve is a program under Heineken Malaysia Berhad’s
(HEINEKEN Malaysia) Star Academy, aimed at training bartenders to deliver the perfect serve of Heineken® every time.
“HEINEKEN Malaysia’s Star Academy prides itself on ensuring that consumers get to experience the full Heineken® quality and experience, from brewing to consumption. This rigorous training program ensures that Heineken® fans receive a world-class serving no matter where they are. To refine the art of the perfect serve is a skill that only true ‘star’ bartenders can deliver,” said Vasily Baranov, Sales Director of HEINEKEN Malaysia.
Now in its sixth year running, Draught Masters and Heineken® Star Serve professional trainers took a trip through Malaysia to teach the Heineken® Star Serve pouring ritual. Covering eight cities, over 600 bartenders were trained. This journey saw the competition whittled down to the eight finalists who battled for the crown at the Heineken® Star Serve Bartender Finals 2019.
Jack Loh from Maze Eatery and Bar, Ipoh emerged victoriously, won the title of the best Heineken® bartender in the nation and will represent Malaysia at the Heineken® Global Bartender Finals in an all-expense-paid trip in Amsterdam
“This truly is a dream come true to be recognized in my craft. It has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience to have been part of Heineken® Star Serve, and of course, to represent Malaysia in the Global Bartender Finals in Amsterdam. I know this is only the beginning!” said Jack.
The Heineken® Star Serve pouring ritual involves five steps: rinse, pour, skim, check and serve. These five steps are what sets Heineken® apart from other beers, ensuring bartenders from around the world deliver a premium Heineken® draught beer every time, no matter where you are. Mastery of the ritual, however, is not enough to guarantee the top spot at the Heineken® Star Serve Bartender Finals. Personality and charisma are vital in achieving the Star Factor that makes a bartender stand out from the crowd.
During theHeineken® Star Serve National Final 2019, everyone has the opportunity to learn how to pour our own perfect serve. It was not as easy as we thought.
