The document discusses Kloster beer, a beer originally brewed in Germany that was later produced and marketed in Thailand under license. It was not well received by Thai consumers who perceived it as too expensive and similar to local beers. When other international beers were introduced, Kloster lost market share and was eventually withdrawn from Thailand and other markets. The document then provides details on Kloster's brand identity, marketing strategy, distribution approach, and sponsorship opportunities to help relaunch the brand in Thailand.
