Craft beer in Kuala Lumpur

Only a couple places of note in KL. Check out our Malaysia site: http://craftbeerasia.com/malaysia/ for details.

 

You've done it again. Keep it up! I'll be in KL after the HK trip next month that I mentioned in the other thread. ... Anyone else out there, feel free to chime in. I'm not pinning a lot of hopes on anything, but it'd be good to know, and I'm open to pleasant surprises.

 

I've personally been to Taps Beer Bar, and I can personally vouch for them as a "craft beer bar."

Keep in mind, given KL's geographical location, the bulk of the beers available there are either going to be from Australia/NZ (Yeastie Boys, Prickly Moses, Holgate, etc.) or Japan (they had a few Hitachino on tap when I went), with a few of the usual wide-reaching Europeans (BrewDog).

They also had some standard pub fare which I didn't try because they're literally within walking distance from the street food markets of Petaling Street.

I hope you like hot weather!

 

My "like" of the above was not for the hot weather. I'm bracing for a meat-locker level of air conditioning at a conference hotel, with a bone-cracking transition to outside. Conducive to thirst, at least! Thanks

 

I loved Taps! Such a nice bar with such a relaxed crowd.
