Somersby Somertime Anytime with Volkswagen Kombi Vans

Somersby, I only started to drink it when I was travelling in Bangkok dated back to 2016. My friend is Somersby's fan. She can't get her eyes away from the bottles everytime she shopped in the supermarket. Under "long term" peer influence, I bought one and tried which I started to fall in love with it (She was one of my travel mates to Bangkok). That's how I get to know Somersby and its Apple cider :D

This April, Somersby invites cider lovers to make the most of Malaysia’s all-round ‘summer’ by extending experiencing a fun and jolly campaign named Somertime, Anytime featuring Somersby Apple cider, Somersby Blackberry cider and Somersby Sparkling Rosé on the wheel.

Somertime Volkswagen Kombi vans

At the campaign launch preview held at Glasshouse @ Seputeh recently, three iconic Somertime Volkswagen Kombi vans with open hatch roofs and fold-out countertops, doubling up as Somersby bars, were unveiled to over 300 guests. The vehicles, decked with flamboyant Somersby branding are deployed to meet cider lovers through nationwide sampling activations celebrating life’s little pleasure when one enjoys a Somersby; as a happy hour drink or during gatherings with good friends; Anytime really!

During the launch gambit, Carlsberg Malaysia’s management team made a special appearance and served guests their favourite Somersby variants from the makeshift Somertime VW kombi van bars (I love VW kombi van so much last time which I always call it 面包车 ~ "bread car" ;D) 

As guests sipped on their cider, many were seen trying out UV body marbling art with neon and ultraviolet paint as well as the Somersby tree ring toss game.
