Coach is provided to and forth!
The tour begins in a shiny new welcome room filled with retro advertisements, collectable bottles, and other memorabilia from the brewery’s 80-year history in Singapore. Here we met the tour guide who shared some interesting factoids about their products. After a video about the founding of the brewery by colonial British brew-masters striving to formulate the perfect tropical beer, the brewery tour proper begins.
We followed the tour guide into the secure area, up a staircase, and into a steamy room that smelled like bread – the brewing room! This is also where photography stops — the process is apparently a secret! Our group, a sizeable 40some people, paused briefly on the viewing platform to gaze down at the huge vats while the guide gave an introduction to beer’s basic ingredients like hops and barley. Whether it was due to the underwhelming response or the stifling heat, we quickly moved on to the next stop on the tour.
Finally it was time for the real reason any of us signed up for the brewery tour – drinking! The beer sampling takes place in Tiger Tavern, a British-themed pub so polished it should be open every day to everyone, not just tours. Free flow of beers that are brew on site! The taste is sooooo different from what you normally drink! I will definitely be back!
