Crazy Carabao, the craft beer sensation celebrates a decade of excellence

Local premium craft beer brand Crazy Carabao may have already captured a strong following among liquor enthusiasts and built partnerships with high-end bars and restaurants nationwide, but it’s not about to rest on its laurels as it continues to keep the brand fresh and interesting with the introduction of distinctive styles of beers, an updated website and a more attractive packaging that pays homage to its Filipino roots. 

 

These exciting milestones were recently celebrated during a recent   Superhero-themed launch held at the new Odd Seoul 2 Bar in Quezon City. Hosted by the country’s popular multi-media personality Sam YG and Tiktok superstar Sammy J, the event gave guests the perfect opportunity to get to know the brand, enjoy the different Crazy Carabao variants with food pairings; beer drinking games, beer pong, and much more.  

Crazy Carabao has undoubtedly come a long way – what started out as a dream among friends after watching a Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas, slowly turned into a reality with the acquisition of an abandoned building in Sta. Rosa, Laguna for brewery. With countless of beers brewed and drank, Crazy Carabao was officially launched in the market in 2014.

Now approaching its 10^th year, Crazy Carabao takes pride in being a major player in the Philippines’ craft beer industry. Despite its growing popularity, Crazy Carabao is still brewed in small batches, with the same passion and dedication for quality and creativity. Drinkers can taste the natural freshness of the ingredients – malts are imported from Australia and Europe, and hops, which provides the bitterness, aroma and style, are grown in Yakami Valley located next to Seattle, USA, which is said to have some of the most fertile soil in the world, made richer with the ice water from off the Cascade Ranges.

 

The same principle in using fresh and premium ingredients is followed in the brand’s newest offering – the Newtons Noggin Apple Cider which has a fruity, fresh, and mild kick. It complements Crazy Carabao’s other existing products, namely Pilsner, Pale Ale, Wheat, Golden Ale and India Pale Ale. 

 

True to its roots, Crazy Carabao  has updated the look of its packaging,  paying tribute to its Filipino roots. To accompany the beer’s awesome taste, each Crazy Carabao bottle is now adorned with a single beaming color that shows vibrancy through the sunrays accentuated by symbols of Pinoy culture such as the Chocolate Hills, the jeepney, butanding, among others.  

 

On top of the new Crazy Carabao drink and packaging, the brand has also updated its website (https://crazycarabao.ph/) featuring a more vibrant design, with pages that are easier to navigate and, most importantly, a Beer Finder feature that lets users easily find the nearest outlets that sell Crazy Carabao – from bars, restaurants, groceries and stores around the country. 

 

Currently, Crazy Carabao is available in top bars and restaurants across Metro Manila, including  most of the 5-star hotels in the country and in all the main retailers such as S&R, The Marketplace, Landers Superstore, as well as in  Lazada, Shopee, and many other top online stores.

 

“Our goal as a craft beer company is to help many more Filipinos enjoy the different notes and unique styles of beer. Our following is rapidly growing and we want to keep it fresh and interesting for them by expanding our product portfolio to target the varying tastes of our customers,” said   Brad Hannam, one of the founders of Crazy Carabao. 

 

“We would like to thank you for keeping our beers flowing for these past years. Our goal and hope is that our beer touches your lips in many more years to come and to bring quality-made products and exceptional experience to each and every Filipinos! “ added  Grace Vicencio, Crazy Carabao’s Sales Manager.

Xiaomi hosted a Xiaomi Masterclass for Mobile Photography titled “Story in Sight: A Masterclass in Mobile Visual Storytelling”

Mobile photography has opened the doors for many young creatives. Following the release of the Xiaomi 13T Series, the top smartphone brand recently hosted a Xiaomi Masterclass for Mobile Photography titled “Story in Sight: A Masterclass in Mobile Visual Storytelling” for students of San Beda University, members of the media, and the Xiaomi community.

The event was led by award-winning journalist Atom Araullo and renowned photographer Jonathan Hodder. They gave valuable insights on visual storytelling based on their personal and professional experiences. 

Atom covered the basics of visual storytelling from his years as a reporter. He shared photos he took as a child and as a seasoned journalist covering stories around the Philippines and abroad. He talked about some photojournalism rules that are applicable to capturing moments in time, whether he’s on the field or just taking snapshots during his personal time. “The best camera is the camera you have with you. If you're a documentary photographer, you usually want to take a photo of the moment and you don't want your camera to disturb the scene. Mobile phones are discreet, you can carry them anywhere, and they don’t disturb the scene,” Atom said.

 

On the topic of telling cohesive stories through mobile photography, Jonathan talked about how visually impactful images can catch people’s attention and make them feel something. He showcased stunning shots of spontaneous scenes around the world to showcase people’s everyday lives, and provided tips on how budding photographers could achieve this. “If you’re taking photos of truth, you must be true to yourself,” Jonathan advised.

 

Both speakers offered helpful tips on maximizing the features of the Xiaomi 13T to capture everyday masterpieces. Xiaomi 13T is equipped with a 50MP rear camera that can capture details in high definition. Powered by Mediatek Dimensity 8200 Ultra chipset and a 5000mAh battery, mobile photographers are able to shoot smoothly without worrying about any lag or battery drainage.

 

Capturing masterpieces in sight

The Xiaomi Mobile Masterclass is part of a three-pronged series to showcase the talents of young photographers using the Xiaomi 13T Series. It kicked off with a Xiaomi 13T Series Photowalk in Intramuros on November 17.

 

With the theme “Story in Sight,” the immersive photowalk challenged 10 select students from San Beda University to showcase their mobile photography prowess in capturing Intramuros’ most scenic and authentic moments. It also enabled them to unleash their creative freedom in capturing and telling meaningful stories in every shot.

 

The student-participants went to various historic locations within Manila’s walled city, including Baluarte de Dilao, Plaza de Roma, Plaza Moriones, Fort Santiago, and San Agustin Church.

 

“We want to show our appreciation to the talented students who brought their passion for photography and visual storytelling to our Xiaomi Masterclass series. The beauty of the Xiaomi 13T is that it allows even the most casual photographers to take stunning shots of everyday moments. We’re so glad it’s become a tool to inspire up-and-coming creatives as well,” said Tomi Adrias, Xiaomi Philippines Head of Marketing.

 

The Xiaomi Masterclass series will conclude with an exhibit showcasing the shots taken by the young photographers from San Beda University. This further reiterates Xiaomi’s mission to inspire and enable up-and-coming creatives that can capture everyday moments and tell compelling stories with their smartphones.

Anyone can capture everyday masterpieces with just a snap of a smartphone camera. Bring them to life with the Xiaomi 13T starting at Php 26,999 and Xiaomi 13T Pro starting at P37,999 via Xiaomi’s online stores on Lazada, Shopee, and Tiktok Storeand authorized Xiaomi stores.
