Cathay Pacific has announced that its handcrafted pale ale, Betsy Beer, is now available on all routes. The announcement was made on the social media platform X.
Betsy Beer was first introduced by Cathay Pacific in 2017 as the world's first hand-crafted bottled beer brewed to be enjoyed at 35,000 feet. Initially, it was available exclusively to First and Business Class passengers on select routes. Its unique formulation was designed to counteract the dulling of taste buds at high altitudes, offering passengers a flavorful experience in the skies.
According to Cathay Pacific, the latest iteration of Betsy Beer features flavors of mandarin orange, slightly roasted barley, and carefully balanced hops to enhance its taste at cruising altitude. The beer is now available in all classes on long-haul routes and can also be enjoyed in the airline's lounges at Hong Kong International Airport. This expansion aims to provide a consistent and enhanced inflight dining experience across different travel classes.
