Decades of brewing experience have enabled our brewers to create a beer that is rich in the traditional Cisk character but with 50% less carbs, whilst still retaining a 4.2% alcohol level. But more importantly, Cisk Excel has also retained the original Cisk Lager taste.

Cisk Excel has only 3.75grams carbohydrates per 25cl bottle making it a smarter alternative for individuals who lead an active lifestyle, but still enjoy a great-tasting beer. Brewed using the best selection of quality malt and continental hops rich in the traditional Cisk character, Cisk Excel makes a fine quality addition to the Cisk range of beers. In October 2007 Cisk Excel was awarded ‘World’s Best Low Carb Beer’ title by Beers of the World – an international beer magazine, written by the world’s leading beer writers.

Cisk Excel are privileged to support these Maltese Athletes in their endeavours to conquer their Olympic Dream.

Body Works, located in St Julians, house individual therapists and practitioners specialising in Health Care, Fitness and Beauty. Bryn Kennard, set up Body Works Ltd in 2005 and has himself, represented England rugby at various levels. Seb and Benji approached Body Works to organise and structure a training regime that would take them to the peak of competitive fitness as they strive towards their goal of Gold in the 2012 Olympics. Bryn has long believed that there is a Gold Medal in Malta and is very excited about being part of this journey. The challenge they face is huge. They are already starting with a slight handicap – they do not have access to the funding of the larger nations. That being said the organisation, determination and obvious skill that the team have displayed has demonstrated that they are very capable of challenging come the summer of 2012. It is to this end that Body Works has laid on their services to the Malta 49er’s and look forward to being part of such a professional unit that they are starting to create.
