I'd heard good things about Level 33 and the menu does look pretty nice but I never made it there. The food at Brewerkz wasn't bad, but nothing special. I was a little disappointed with both the beer and food at Little Island. Looked like it had promise but the brisket I had was pretty dry and not very flavorful. Had a good fish and chips at The 1925 but their house beer was not good. The Druggists is nearby and had a pretty excellent tap list when I was there but a lot of people I talked to before going said not to bother with their food. Smith Street Taps is in the middle of a hawker market so tons of food options there, not really a brewpub though. JiBiru has excellent Japanese food and beer, again not a brewpub per se.
Heading to Singapore for the first time (and on short notice), so it helps to know where I can get a good beer. Seems like most places with craft beer have more Americanized food menus which means I'll likely be eating and drinking at separate locations.
I didn't have too much time to devote to beer, but here's what I found: The Druggists - really nice taplist, heavy on Mikkeller but that's ok. Ended up paying about 20 USD for 3 half pints. That sounds expensive but it's really not for Singapore. Atmosphere was cool (former drug store) and it's across the street from a place to eat with all kinds of food options. There's also a Mikkeller bar closer to the CBD but I didn't make it there. Blue Bali - claims to be a nanobrewery, actually didn't even know they brewed their own beer when we ate here. Beer was pretty interesting, their Gold was a lighter beer brewed with pumpkin (though it didn't taste like a pumpkin beer) and their Pink Mamba was a wheat brewed with dragon fruit. I thought both were pretty decent. Food was good here too, it's over by the botanical gardens. Hotel Vagabond - this is where I stayed. Had 6 craft options in bottles, including Brew Dog's Vagabond Pale Ale that was gluten reduced and pretty good. Other than that I pretty much drank Tiger or Asahi. Really cool country with an amazing variety of cultures in a very small area. I hope to go back in the future on a more leisurely trip.
