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...

Don't like Heineken neither. Prefer Belgium wheat beers like Hoegaarden - Walla-Walla was a great place to get them reasonably cheap during happy hours some time ago - not sure now. Tiger quite good. Chang slightly worse. Tsing Tao smells a bit like a fox farm

And another place of the type you mentioned is at Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre, L2.

I noticed no one mentioning they liked Aussie brand beers.

Not as good?

The place I mentioned is next to the temple in Chinatown. Look up Sago Street in google maps and you'll see two buildings just to the left of that.

On L2 it's just massive amounts of locals (at least on a Saturday) and ridiculous amounts of empty bottles all over the place (them just put them on the ground next to every concrete pillar). It felt like being in some local beer fest. No other Westerners around, have never seen any there actually.

Have only seen Pure Blonde and VB on tap, neither being the sort of beer you can drink for hours on end.

I'd love a Toohey's New though, seen it anywhere?

I would guess not as popular. I remember drinking them pretty regularly when I visited Australia and my sense of taste was not offended anyhow

but at that time I was more focused exploring Yarra Valley resources.

Prince of Wales Little India usually has some Australian beers. Gippsland i think one of the brands available the last time i was there..

Hope I am not getting blamed for spamming, as I am repeating myself:

For Belgian beers? Try the BELGIAN brasserie bar: Oosters.

Not to disagree with SG, but to add on.....

I've gone here numerous times and with around 120 different types of beer, I think this place qualifies as well....

Wow....

Sms, I think their range is even wider, than most of the bars in Holland or Belgium itself....

Looks awsome!

I have a niece & nephew working there as waitress & cook! Their mussels/clam dishes are great and a heck of a selection of sauces to go with 'em as well. That with the variety of beer and outdoor seating along Robertson Quay. Well........... $\:D/$

Heh, I live like 2 mins away by foot, Robertson Quay is a great place at night, so much different than CQ, a completetly different crowd in fact.

BrusselsSprouts has a great location there on the corner, if you like attentive service then this is the place to be at. The moment you put down an empty glass of beer and think to yourself maybe I should have ordered another one before this last swig you will hear the words "would you like another one, sir?".

OK after living here for a while and having a chance to explore a little I wanted to come back to this thread.
I have not found any "good" Texas or American beers in Singapore. You can get the basic stuff (Bud, Bud light, Miller Lite etc) at Hooters and a few other places. Ironically the cheapest beer that I have found in Singapore is Loan Star Light. It is in a lot of grocery stores. I guess they have to sell it someplace.
The best beer that I have found in Singapore is the Bock Lager at Brewerkz. If you like Shiner you should like this one as well. Its heaver but very good. They (Brewerkz) also have a beer called Xtra Ipa that is very similar to a Shiner Hefeweizen. The Pump Room has a few really good beers as well.
Red Dot makes the worst beer that I have ever tasted. Beer is way too expensive in Singapore to drink stuff that tastes like crap.
