Young Master Brewery founder Rohit Dugar used to be an investment banker with a dream. A passionate lover of craft beer, he used to hang out six years ago at what used to be the only craft beer bar in town - Taps Beer Bar Kuala Lumpur - every time he was in town.
“He used to tell me, ‘Alvin, one day I will open my own brewery’,” recalls Alvin Lim, co-founder of Taps and craft beer distributors MyBeer Malaysia. “Talking to him, you could tell he knew a lot about beer, so when he told me he would open a brewery one day, somehow, I believed him.”
