Brewlander is one of Singapore’s iconic local craft brewery operations. Founded in 2014 by John Wei, the brewery has established itself as one of the leading Singapore craft beer brands across the 2015-19 craft beer wave. Different from the import-focused craft beer bars (which serve mostly US, European, or regional Asian craft beer), Brewlander is the proper local-brewed craft beer with the Singapore identity.
The Brewlander beer lineup typically includes:
- Brewlander Lore IPA — flagship IPA with hop-forward character
- Brewlander Bandung Saison — Singapore-flavour saison with rose syrup notes
- Brewlander Truth Saison — traditional Belgian-style farmhouse ale
- Brewlander Joy Pale Ale — easy-drinking pale ale
- Brewlander Anger IPA — stronger IPA variant
- Various seasonal releases rotating across the year
The Brewlander brand uses the bone-china-skull motif as the visual signature. The branding aesthetic leans the modern-craft direction — different from the traditional brewery branding (which uses heritage imagery + classical fonts) or the corporate brewery branding (which leans clean minimal), Brewlander has the proper craft brewery contemporary visual identity.
The $13 full pint pricing tier is the standard Singapore craft beer bar range. Different from the budget beer ($3-5 for Tiger / Heineken bottles) or the premium import craft beer ($15-22 per pint), the $13 Brewlander tier represents the proper local craft beer pricing.
The Singapore craft beer scene has expanded significantly across 2014-19. Multiple local breweries have established the proper local-brewed craft beer ecosystem:
- Brewlander (Wei brothers’ operation)
- Trouble Brewing
- Crossroads Brewing Co.
- Pink Blossoms Brewing
- Daryl’s Urban Ales
- Heart of Darkness Brewing (Vietnam-Singapore cross-border)
- General Brewing Co.
Each local brewery runs the proper craft beer + brewery taproom + partnership pub network. The combination creates the proper local craft beer culture that’s distinct from the import-focused craft beer scene of earlier eras.
Brewlander specifically distributes through:
- The Brewlander Brewery taproom (Joo Chiat / Geylang)
- Partnership pubs across Singapore
- Bottle shops (Cellarbration, The Liquor Shop, etc.)
- Restaurants with proper craft beer menus
The Wednesday evening craft beer slot is the proper mid-week wind-down. Different from the Friday post-work drinks (which leans the destination format) or the weekend party drinks (which leans the longer evening), the Wednesday craft beer session is the controlled-quality drinking format.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Excellent Brewlander draft. Would re-order at the taproom.
