Not offended in the least! You have to remember though that you are in Singapore and as an EXPAT at least 90% of my day to day expenses are covered i.e. housing, living allowance, taxes, utilities, trasportation etc etc, the only thing that a good chuck of true EXPATS here in Singapore will actually pay for is Booze, Smokes and Meals (when it is not company expensed). Therefore, there are a lot of us who do not think twice about paying $10-$20 a drink, because at the end of the day, if you want to drink in a particular pub or bar or restaurant, you are going to drink in that particular bar, pub or restaurant. Price should not be an issue and I do find it a very Singaporean thing (and NO offence intended here, just an observation) that they are always looking for the cheapest deal or a free prize or free parking for the $200,000 Merc. I have personally been to a Hawker Center only a hand full of time during the past few years, as I personally prefer quality pubs or restaurants to sitting outside sweating away like a beast despite the great food.
So I may be way wrong here, but this being an Expat Forum, I will stick to my comments that Brewerkz to me serves the cheapest and best beer and food in an Expat setting. Compare it to the other "westernized" restaurants bars etc and I think it is the ebst bang for your buck! So I'm going to assume that the westernized restaurants bars etc are not in your budget (and fair enough), enjoy the Hawker Centres because that is where you are going to get the cheapest beer aside from buying it at the grocery store and drinking at home to save a buck.
Good Luck on your search! And let us all know if you find somewhere, I would love to check it out! All this typing has made me thirsty....feel like a beer!
If money is no issue, but quality is, then how can Brewerkz be the choice? Fast food joint, no more no less.Barczar wrote:No Boders,

Eric was referring only to the food, not the beer selection if that makes any difference.
Did I ever tell you we had a dog named Tiki? An ornery, old, stray, half-blind pekenese my brother found wandering in the middle of the boston post road.
Damn if he didn't hang on another 5 years just to spite us.
Don't you all think it's time to start homebrewing? It's legal in Singapore now and you can buy the kit in a few different spots. I saw it at Paris Silk. May be I'll bring home some seeds for hops when I go on home leave??
