  • Hite Jinro has revamped the packaging for its "Kelly" all-malt beer brand to celebrate its fourth anniversary.
  • The new design emphasizes Kelly's premium positioning and rich flavor derived from 100% Danish malt.

Hite Jinro is celebrating the fourth anniversary of its all-malt beer brand, Kelly, with a significant packaging refresh. The company announced on the 14th that the new design aims to reinforce Kelly's identity as a premium beer crafted from 100% Danish malt.

The updated packaging simplifies the overall design and prominently features the "ALL MALT" designation on the front. This strategic move is intended to highlight the beer's smoother, richer taste compared to standard lagers, thereby solidifying its position in the premium market. The color palette has been refined to convey a more luxurious image, with enhancements made to the brand's logo for a sleeker appearance.

To mark Kelly's fourth anniversary, we have redesigned the entire line to firmly establish the identity of an all-malt beer and strengthen its competitiveness.
