About Vitamalt
Vitamalt is a non-alcoholic malt drink that began in 1960 when Denmark's Ceres Breweries exported malt beer to the West Indies; the Vitamalt name and bottle followed in 1978. In 1995 it became the first malt brand to launch a flavour, ginger. Royal Unibrew still makes it in Denmark and says it is sold in over 60 countries.
