maltatoday | SUNDAY • 8 SEPTEMBER 2024 7 COMMERCIAL Cisk 0.0 proud to support Neil Agius's next attempt at world record swim SIMONDS Farsons Cisk plc is proud to announce its support of ultra-endurance athlete and clean seas activist Neil Agius in his re-attempt at a world record swim, through its brand Cisk 0.0 Alcohol-Free Lager. Announced last July, the chal- lenge is expected to be held in the second half of September and will see Agius swim the open-sea route along the coast- al waters of the entire Maltese archipelago, covering approxi- mately 160km. The gruelling challenge is expected to take three days and will require an estimated 175,000 strokes. If successful, Agius will break the current world record for the longest non-stop, unassisted, current neutral sea swim, which he himself holds. Ms Susan Weenink Camilleri, Head of Sales & Marketing at Simonds Farsons Cisk plc, said of this partnership, "Neil is in- spirational both as a sportsper- son and also as an ambassador of our oceans. His world record at- tempts have always captured the public's heart and imagination as well as ours. Through this sponsorship we are supporting his environmental efforts and his significant work with Wave of Change, a movement of peo- ple taking action to bring about change by raising awareness on the impact of daily decisions and inspiring choices that are driven by sustainability and compas- sion. This partnership is a nat- ural fit for our brand Cisk 0.0 and we wish Neil the very best of luck in this next challenge." Cisk 0.0 Alcohol-Free Lager is brewed, marketed and distribut- ed by Simonds Farsons Cisk plc. It is brewed using the same tra- ditional and natural ingredients as the original Cisk Lager. The beer is fermented and matured before all the alcohol is then re- moved through a gentle process specifically designed to remove the alcohol from the beer whilst retaining the flavour, resulting in those refreshing fruity notes and a soft malty finish that are syn- onymous with the Cisk brand. Launched in 2022, Cisk 0.0 is the latest addition to the Cisk brand portfolio that also includes Cisk Lager, Cisk Excel Low Carb La- ger, Cisk Pilsner, Cisk Premium Lager, Cisk Strong Lager and the fruit-flavoured range, Cisk Chill.
