"We're thrilled by Sipho's curiosity and the opportunity it presents to showcase Carling Black Label's legacy of brewing excellence," says Carling Black Label marketing manager, Candice van den Bosch. "As 'Africa’s most awarded beer,' we hope to prove that we can also command this title on a global scale."

Reflecting on Sipho's role in the campaign, van den Bosch remarks, "Sipho's passion for going on a fact-finding mission and uncovering the truth aligns perfectly with our brand narrative of Effort, Achievement and Reward. 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."

For decades, Carling Black Label has proudly proclaimed itself as South Africa's most decorated beer, further substantiating its claim as Africa's premier brew, as is evident on its packaging. Now, fortified by extensive global awards data, Carling Black Label confidently asserts its position as the epitome of brewing excellence on a global scale.

With 54 awards and counting spanning from 1990 to 2023, Carling Black Label's trophy cabinet stands as a testament to its unparalleled success.

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.
