Need some help locating some specific beers

Hey all, I moved to Singapore in October from Texas and since then I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a few beers which just remind me of home. Does anyone know where, if at all you can buy, Shiner Bock or Bud Light?

thx
Tim

Hey Tim, Welcome to Singapore,
You can get Budweiser regular in cans at Cold Storage S$ 17.75 for a 6 pack.
They have got Miller's at the "Ice Cold Beer" at Emerald hill. (beside Centerpoint Shopping Center) (there have 50 different types of beer there)

Brauhaus at United Square has about 200 ++ types of beer there.
oldest German Pub in Singapore.

Will keep a look out for the 2 beers that you like, but in the mean time, i am sure you will find something similar... and better.

Enjoy your stay here and oh...cheers

Believe me, the various brews here will have you drooling if you will but give them a chance. I won't drink a US beer anymore. They are like have sex at the beach. "F**king near water!"

Yeah, I'm a Yank come over from your neighboring state (but not from there originally) - worked on the rigs outta Morgan Sewer!

The US has lovely microbreweries with a moderately large production such as Rogue, Dogfish Head, Sierra Nevada and others. I still wonder why USians drink bud

That is a good one.... "F..King near water"
really crack me up.
Well, I would drink a bud, but only if it was the last beer on earth,
No offense to your preference Tim,
My favs are Carlsberg, Erdinger (light / dark), Wastenier and Guiness.
Hey SMS, what is your pleasure? (Keep it to beer)

There are several good microbreweries in Singapore....... I don't class Brewerkz as "good" but is generally okay.

The Pump, Red Dot, a Czech place in Gilman Villiage i can't remember the name of, Paulaner to a certain extent and the recently opened Thai-German Tawandang at Dempsey name pretty much the best ones here.

You'd never need to drink american again.

Try a bar / restaurant called Oosters, at Capital Square, Church Street.

Tell them you're from US and would like to learn enjoying beer.

Not sure they still offer Rochefort 10, but that should do it, if available.

Nice, I'll be aware for when I move over!

I meant that looking for US brewed piss overseas doesn't make much sense

Not aimed at you...... general information and a point to OP only

With so much good beer around.

Agree with SMS and surprisingly being Bud illiterate some time ago time was given exactly the same explanation by my American friend - F...close to water . Besides the places already mentioned you may find some coffee-shop surprises. Inside Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre there is one beer stall (2nd floor IIRC) with amazing variety of beer, for example Chimays in 1l bottles not easily to be found in other places.

Bud is pish, reminds me when I was 15 years old! Tiger is grand, and there's always Heineken to rely on

Not a fan of Heineken at all. Will take a Chang or a Tsing Tao over that...

You want a truly unique beer experience? Tell me when and I'll take you to a giant HDB complex in Chinatown, behind the temple, where on L2 there is a beer hall for the locals. What an atmosphere to drink in, loved every second of it. Felt bored to hell in Clarke Quay the next day...
