About Queen's
Queen's is STAR's light, thirst-quenching beer, brewed without bitterness and sold as the cheapest beer on the Malagasy market. The company says it has been on sale in Madagascar for 27 years and that it is particularly popular in the sunniest regions of the island. It is bottled in 65cl and 33cl glass and distributed in a limited number of towns rather than nationwide, which marks it out from THB.
