We brewed a beer! Watch this space SG

Singapore Sling 🍸

Brewed with our pals at Quality Drops Craft Beer, we’re paying homage to what many consider to be Singapore’s national drink.

The Singapore Sling combines fresh, vibrant fruit flavours with smooth, botanical notes for an ultra-refreshing cocktail inspired sour beer with layers of sweet, tart juiciness.

Available from 02.04.24 🕔🍻

What is Cider? How is it made? (1/2) 🍏🍎

Our new Natural Cider, , have very kindly given us access to some behind the scenes shots of their cider making process. So let’s talk a bit about what cider is, and how its made in a two part post!

To put it simply, Cider is an alcoholic drink made from fermented juice from apples and it’s most popular in the UK, Ireland and parts of Europe. The words Cidre, Sicer or Ciser is first mentioned in Olde French and English texts as early as the 12th/13th century, however people fermenting apples dates back to even 55 BCE, when Julius Caesar was invading Britain - he found native Celts fermenting small crabapples and took it back through Europe. So it’s fair to say, people have been getting drunk on apples and fruits for a fair few years.

As time went on, people moved from crab apples to experiment with different apple variants. English styles are usually higher in alcohol content, drier and French/European styles are lower alcohol whilst using sweeter variants. Then there’s also a wide range of similar variants like Perry, made with pears, or ciders mixed with other fruits like berries or stone fruits.

We’ve opened a bar! 🍻 is ready to pour you a pint.

Some of you have probably seen this by now or even popped in for a pint, but we realised we hadn’t done a dedicated post on this so… here you go.

In Dec we opened the doors to - a venture between Quality Drops very own Russell as well as the guys from Beer Pioneer and Beer Clan.

It’s a relaxed Riverside Taproom with 8 Rotating taps, 100+ beers in the fridge with all your QD favourites, natural wines and Pies by our good mate 🥧

You can enjoy the cosy atmosphere inside or you can chill out on the banks of the Singapore River to watch the world go by - all whilst enjoying a lovely drop.

So give them a follow and definitely head down to check it out 🍻

Dry January means Dry Ciders right?

Dry Jan doesn’t really work for us, we are in the game of selling great drinks. Therefore we like to see the start of the year as a time to take a bit of a reset and maybe drink something a bit different instead - and it doesn’t mean you have to drink loads!

Some UK breweries and stores have branded this ‘Try-anuary’, where you try different styles of beer, different breweries or just a different beverage altogether. After all, that’s what we all love - learning a little and expanding our horizons in knowledge and taste.

Enter - - a family owned cidery 🍎🍏from Hereford in England. Perfect timing, their cider arrived in Singapore for the first time last month.

All of their ciders are lovingly small batch and naturally fermented. We’ve got an excellent range of their latest seasonal releases, which have varied finish such as barrel ageing in wine or spirits casks, dry-hopped or had other fruits added in. All this as well as some core classics. We’ve tried a few and we’ve been super impressed so far, they go really well with a lovely bit of cheese too 🧀

Definitely check them out on the webshop, and we will be telling you more about the process of cider making in the coming days here and in our blogs.

What happens when two legends of craft beer come together? The answer is, the beer of the summer.

Sierra Nevada is widely regarded as the brewery that started the craft beer revolution. So when Mountain Culture recently brewed a beer for the summer with them, the reception in Australia was huge. Sold out in a couple days meaning that the guys had to put some more in the tank - and then that sold out.

We’ve got our hands on this super limited hazy pale and we reckon it won’t be around for long. So check the webshop and grab some of this summer smasher for those hot moments in between the rain!

Cheers 🍻

Award winning Alcohol Free beer from Mash Gang... What's the big deal? 

Well the guys started with the intention that AF beer shouldn't be less tasty or appealing becuase it's alcohol free, it's all about using the same high quality ingredients and process that goes into alcoholic craft beer.

" is Alcohol Free beer for people who don't do Alcohol Free beers." says Jordan Childs, founder and brewer at Mash Gang. "We’re inclusive. If you want to drink one of our beers and follow it up with an imperial stout, we’re not going to judge you."

This shows in our recent shipment that's live on the webshop! We've got some of their big collabs like a super hazy NEIPA with Verdant, and two juicy sours with fruit lords Vault City. 

Why do we keep banging on about these Alcohol Free beers though? Well, we used to steer clear of alcohol free beers as they weren't very good. However recently we've been in more and more situations where we would love a pint but don't want to feel dusty the next day... whether it's doing sports, getting up early for the kids, feeling fresh for work, driving or becuase you don't want to get too drunk. That's why we are super happy we found some really solid AF craft beers. 

It's a category to watch, we predict that many breweries will offer more and more AF options as the demand continues to grow. 

Grab yours on the webshop today 📱💻🛒📦🍻

Alcohol free beer is sh*t💩🍻 That's the what we've heard a lot over the last few years that we have been working in craft beer, or all beer for that matter. And to a certain extent, it's true... Alcohol free or low alcohol beer has historically been low on flavour or just weird. 

However - over the last year or so, we've started to try more and more no and low alcohol beers that have made us re-think our expectations. Then, refreshing non-alcoholic pilsners, XPAs etc. found a place in our drinks line up more and more. Great for a certain occasion, maybe when your want to be fresh in the morning, trying to get stacked or just taking it easy on a hot day out under the equatorial sun. You surely wouldn't sit down and drink one for the taste though? 

That's when we heard of . The UK gypsy-brewers (use other peoples kit!), started their brewing journey in the first UK COVID lockdown, looking to brew top drawer beers without the alcohol. Cool artwork, hazy brews and one thing that really got our attention - growth. The 'hype' (hate that word...) that we were seeing around Mash Gang was crazy, a successful crowdfunder, beers selling out, 700% growth in a year, collabs with some of the best breweries around, exporting and brewing across the world - these guys were changing the perception of alcohol free beers. We had to try some, and that was that. 

So we are very happy to say that we are officially bringing Mash Gang to Singapore. We had a call with the lads and both had similar ideas of where we think the future of lo/no alcohol craft beers are going and the potential in somewhere like Singapore. This direct connection to the brewery will allow us to get all the latest and best brews that they have to offer. We truly believe that this these beers have a place in everyone's beer line up, whatever wets your whistle. 

We've got their signature beers like Stoop Lager, Chug Hazy Pale Ale, seasonal east and west coasts, stouts, and some great collabs with the likes of Vault City and Verdant. They will arrive in a few weeks, so subscribe to our newsletter on the webshop and keep your eyes peeled here for more info. 

Cheers!
