Barbican is a brand of non-alcoholic malt beverages that is popular in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Asia. It is known for its wide range of flavors and is often consumed as a refreshing alternative to alcoholic drinks. Barbican is produced by the Aujan Group, a company based in Saudi Arabia.

History[edit | edit source]

Barbican was first introduced in the 1980s as a non-alcoholic beverage option in regions where alcohol consumption is restricted or less common due to cultural and religious reasons. Over the years, it has gained popularity not only in the Middle East but also in other parts of the world where consumers seek non-alcoholic alternatives.

Production[edit | edit source]

Barbican is made from malted barley, which is brewed and then de-alcoholized to ensure that the final product contains no alcohol. The brewing process is similar to that of traditional beer, but with an additional step to remove the alcohol content. This process retains the malt flavor while making it suitable for consumption in regions with strict alcohol regulations.

Flavors[edit | edit source]

Barbican offers a variety of flavors to cater to different taste preferences. Some of the popular flavors include:

  • Original Malt - The classic malt flavor that is the base for all other variants.
  • Apple - A sweet and tangy flavor that combines the taste of malt with crisp apple.
  • Pineapple - A tropical twist with the sweet and juicy flavor of pineapple.
  • Strawberry - A fruity and refreshing option with the taste of ripe strawberries.
  • Raspberry - A slightly tart and sweet flavor that is popular among berry lovers.

Barbican is particularly popular in countries where alcohol consumption is limited due to religious or cultural practices. It is often marketed as a "social drink" that can be enjoyed in various settings, from family gatherings to social events. The brand has positioned itself as a premium non-alcoholic beverage, appealing to both young and adult consumers.
