Quick answer: LeVeL33 gives you fresh-brewed beer with the Marina Bay skyline 33 floors up. Brewerkz is the old hand that still turns out award-winning IPAs. For something unexpected, Pink Blossoms in Ubi pours hazy New England pales straight from the tanks, and Brewlander’s mango wheat beer is worth hunting down in a bottle shop. Little Island Brewing Co smokes their own meats and lets you bring the dog to Changi Village. Each one earns its place for a different reason—here’s how to pick your next pint.
A free evening is rare currency, and a poorly chosen beer spot spends it faster than you’d like. This shortlist is built around timing, mood, and what actually delivers once you’re seated—no filler, no tourist traps. Pick your scenario, get in, and make the window count.
This is one of 20 guides in Best Bars & Nightlife in Singapore — start there if you would rather compare before you commit.
Sometimes what you really want after a long week is a quiet spot, a beer you can’t get at the kopitiam, and the feeling that someone actually gave a damn about what went into the glass. These seven breweries and craft labels deliver exactly that. And if you’re in the mood for other indulgences, our guides on Finest Jewellery Brands in Singapore and Watch Brands in Singapore might round out the evening nicely.
Best Beer Brands in Singapore
LeVeL33
LeVeL33 sits on the 33rd floor of Marina Bay Financial Centre, and it holds a Guinness World Record for the highest urban microbrewery. The five taps rotate through fruity lagers, a banana-scented wheat beer, and whatever the brewers have been tinkering with that season. You come here when the occasion calls for more than a hawker-centre tiger — a birthday, an anniversary, a visitor who still thinks Singapore is all about the Merlion.
The skyline view does a lot of the talking, but the beer is made on-site and tastes noticeably fresh. Pair it with the kitchen’s modern European plates and you have a dinner that feels properly special. Not an everyday hangout, but the kind of place you book a table for a month in advance.
Book the golden-hour slot, about 6pm, when the Marina Bay skyline is doing the most and the terrace still has seats. It’s your move for a visitor who needs to see the city done properly—let them take photos while you settle into a seasonal lager. Stay one drink, then dinner elsewhere.
Address: 8 Marina Boulevard #33-01, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, Singapore 018981. Hours: Daily 12pm–11pm. Price range: Check with the business. level33.com.sg
Suits you if you want a sky-high setting that feels like a reward, with beers brewed right there and nowhere else.
Brewerkz
Brewerkz has been at it since 1997, long before craft beer became a thing in Singapore. The flagship outlet at One Fullerton is a reliable spot whether you’re after a hop-forward IPA, a smooth stout, or one of their seasonal brews that sneak in local flavours. They’ve picked up Champion Mid-Sized Brewery of Asia and a World Beer Cup gold for their English-style IPA, so the beer chops are real.
The riverside setting works for both a casual after-work pint and a full dinner. The menu leans into comfort food that plays well with the beer. There are several outlets around the island, but the Fullerton one gets the waterfront breeze.
The One Fullerton spot rewards those who arrive before the office crowd spills in—aim for a weekday 5pm, grab the riverside table with the breeze. It works for a mixed group where half want a stout and the other half just want something cold and reliable. Skip peak Friday if you’re not in the mood to chope.
Address: 1 Fullerton Road, #01-01 One Fullerton, Singapore 049213 (more branches here). Hours: All outlets daily 12pm–12am. Price range: Check with the business. brewerkz.com
Suits you when you want a dependable craft pint and a solid meal in a spot that’s been doing it right for decades, no surprises.
Pink Blossoms Brewing
Tucked inside an Ubi industrial building, Pink Blossoms Brewing is a small taproom that does one thing properly: New England-style IPAs and pale ales brewed right behind the bar. There’s always a pilot batch or seasonal thing on, so repeat visits pay off. The space is intimate, more like a friend’s garage that happens to have proper tanks.
They open in the evenings most days and from 2pm on weekends. It’s a place where you chat with the person who poured your beer and maybe learn something about the hops. No views, no fuss — just good beer and a quiet corner of the east that rewards people who make the effort to find it.
This is your serious-beer window tucked inside an otherwise unglamorous Ubi evening. Turn up when they open, grab the stools near the tanks, and work through whatever pilot batch just landed. Come with one kaki who cares about the difference between two hazy pales, not a whole noisy table.
Address: 50 Ubi Ave 3, #01-12, Singapore 408866. Hours: Mon-Wed 5pm–10:30pm, Thu-Fri 5pm–11:30pm, Sat 2pm–11:30pm, Sun & PH 2pm–10:30pm. Price range: Check with the business. Facebook page
Suits you if you value freshness and conversation over scenery, and you want an IPA that tastes like it was worth the Grab ride to Ubi.

Red Dot Brewhouse
Red Dot Brewhouse at Dempsey makes the most of its lush green setting with beers that lean experimental. Their Yuzu Craze Lager picked up a World Beer Award, and the Green Monster Lager is another one you’ll see people come back for. The menu plays with nature-inspired dishes that complement the crisp profiles.
It stays open late on weekends (till 2am) and serves a Sunday brunch crowd too. The Dempsey location means you get that alfresco, garden-like feel without leaving the city. It’s the kind of place where a round of tasters can easily stretch into a full evening.
The Dempsey greenery does the heavy lifting here, so aim for a lazy Sunday brunch or a late Saturday when the crowd has thinned past 11pm. Their crisp lagers make sense in the humidity, and the late closing means you can stretch a post-dinner catch-up without anyone rushing you along.
Address: 25A Dempsey Rd, #01-01, Singapore 247691. Hours: Mon-Thu 12pm–12:30am, Fri-Sat 12pm–2am, Sun 10:30am–12:30am. Price range: Check with the business. reddotbrewhouse.com.sg
Suits you when you want a beer that’s a little offbeat, served in a space that feels like a weekend breather, with friends who enjoy discovering something new.
Brewlander
Brewlander doesn’t run a public taproom, but their cans are the ones you reach for in a specialty bottleshop when you want a bold, tropical-fruit-driven beer. Their Mango Fever wheat beer is a standout, and the IPAs have won multiple Untappd community awards. The brewery itself is in Tuas, open only for Saturday tours by prior booking—no walk-ins.
It’s a homegrown label that puts a lot of energy and humour into its packaging and its recipes. If you geek out over hop profiles and mango notes, this is your brand. Grab a mixed six and make your own tasting at home.
This is a planning-ahead operation. Book a Saturday tour in Tuas when you want to turn beer into a half-day outing—pair it with lunch further west and make the drive count. For the cans, time your visit to a speciality bottleshop on a restock day; the Mango Fever doesn’t sit on shelves long.
Address: 21 Tuas West Drive, #02-02A, Singapore 638411. Public hours: Not open to public on weekdays; Saturday brewery tours only (limited availability, booking required). Price range: Check with the business. brewlander.com
Suits you if you like exploring Singapore’s craft beer off the tap and are happy to hunt down a can or book a tour for a behind-the-scenes look.
Little Island Brewing Co
Little Island Brewing Co does two things: microbrewed beer and smokehouse meats. The Changi Village outlet is the one with the laid-back, kampong-style alfresco feel—dog-friendly, communal tables, and a breeze that makes a wheat beer taste even better. They brew pale ales, IPAs, and wheats on-site, and the plates of smoked brisket are no afterthought.
They picked up Gold for Best Alfresco Restaurant, and it’s well earned. There are also outlets at South Beach and Gillman Barracks if Changi is too far, but the original spot has the most soul. Note the Changi hours—closed Mondays, so plan around that.
Take the Changi Village outlet on a Sunday late afternoon, after the cyclist crowd has showered and left. The alfresco setup and breeze are the real draw, so don’t waste a rainy evening here. Order a wheat beer and the smoked brisket, find a communal table, and let the evening run at its own pace.
Changi address: 6 Changi Village Road, Singapore 509907. Hours: Mon Closed, Tue-Wed 2pm–10pm, Thu/Sun/PH 12pm–10pm, Fri-Sat 12pm–12am. Price range: Check with the business. libc.co
Suits you when you want a weekend escape that includes the dog, a smoky plate of ribs, and a pint of something made fifty feet away.
Lion Brewery Co
Lion Brewery Co is a revived historic name on Club Street, pairing an open-flame grill menu with a range of approachable craft beers. The taproom has a polished, convivial energy—equal parts after-work drinks and weekend celebration. They weave in local and regional inspirations, and the food is as much of a draw as the beer.
Awards include an FMCG Asia Award for product packaging and a perfect 5.0 on Tripadvisor at the time of writing. The hours are generous: from 11:30am on weekends for a lunch pint, and late into the night on Fridays and Saturdays.
Club Street’s energy is half the product, so this one suits a Thursday post-work slot when the week is almost done but nobody wants a late one. The open-flame grill means you can anchor the evening with proper food, not just bar snacks. Come with colleagues who appreciate a polished space without pretense.
Address: 36 Club Street, Singapore 069469. Hours: Mon-Thu 3pm–11pm, Fri-Sat 11:30am–1am, Sun 11:30am–11pm. Price range: Check with the business. lionbreweryco.com
Suits you if you want a central spot for a date or a small gathering where the beer list is thoughtful and the grill keeps everyone happy.

How to choose
What separates these breweries mostly comes down to setting and how much you care about the beer itself versus the whole experience. LeVeL33 and Red Dot Brewhouse give you a backdrop that feels like part of the package—one skyline, one garden. Brewerkz and Lion Brewery Co are the safest all-rounders, balancing good beer with a proper food menu in a central spot. Pink Blossoms Brewing and Brewlander are for the flavour chaser: one a hideout taproom, the other a brand you track down. Little Island Brewing Co is the pick when you want to make a half-day of it with family or a four-legged friend.
If you’re bringing someone who isn’t fussed about beer, go where the food and atmosphere hold their own—think Brewerkz, Lion Brewery Co, or Little Island. When it’s just you and your beer kaki, Pink Blossoms or Red Dot reward a slower, more curious session. Opening hours matter: some close earlier on weekdays, so check before heading out. As for prices, craft beer in Singapore typically runs between $12 and $18 a pint, but specifics vary by brew and outlet; confirm directly with the business.
