We know that it won’t be easy and that it will take hard work but we’re confident that Sipho will emerge victorious and reward himself with an ice-cold Carling Black Label at the end of it. “

ABOUT CARLING BLACK LABEL
South African Breweries’ bold investment in Carling Black Label came in 1965 when it obtained the license to sell Carling Black Label in South Africa. By 1966 it was already the national market leader, internationally establishing its champion status early on and setting the standard for beer in South Africa. Carling Black Label’s biggest test came in 1989 when it fell from a high of 33% market share to 1.8% market share. Since that moment and from the upturn in 1990, Carling Black Label has consistently excelled in international competitions. From 1990 to 2023, Carling Black Label has accumulated an impressive collection of 54 local and international awards. The brand’s unwavering commitment to quality and innovation has garnered numerous prestigious awards, solidifying its position as an industry trailblazer. Carling Black Label proudly declares itself as the most decorated beer in the country and on the continent, and is on a mission to prove that it too can be recognised on the world’s stage. Whether enjoyed at home, with friends, or at a local tavern, Carling Black Label remains the preferred choice for those seeking unmatched quality and uncompromising refreshment.
