Today, me and a colleague took a visit to meet a customer at FoodXchange Admiralty. It was my first time to be at FoodXchange and I was quite surprised that in Singapore, there are food facility space for lease. Many local food brands and food caterers were located there, some of them are Ya Kun Kaya, Petite Patisserie, 7-ELEVEn Quick-Bites and a few curry & spice millers.Since we are there, we decided to pay our visit to the "Barefoot Brewing Company Pte Ltd". When we arrived, we found that the main office door was not open and the shutter door was half opened. We took a peep and found some stainless beer tanks, just as we were about to leave someone came out from the brewery and invited us to take a look inside. He was one of the owner of this microbrewery, Mr. Adi. Once stepping into the brewing area, a rich hop and malty beer fragrance engulfed our nose. [smells great] Adi gave us a brief introductory to his beers and it immediately spark our appetite to try his beer. We expected beer not being able to buy on spot as they are distributed for local restaurants but Adi offered us to get two bottles. [I felt lucky]
Beers are brewed fresh and hand-capped into one standard size (640ml) bottles to sustain the cost for packaging, mentioned by Adi.
Beer tasting:
Once uncapped the bottles, the aroma of the beer diffuses into the space.
American IPA: light hop and flora nose, fine bubbles, smooth finish with a bitter aftertaste
Kiasu Stout (*name sounds funny): malty and nutty nose, syrupy texture, super fine bubble, full-bodied malt and coconut palm sugar palate, sticky finishing with subtle sweetness of cane sugar
In summary, Jungle beer produces beer that can interest many beer drinkers out there because they produces beer with a unique local touch. Importantly, I tasted the passion and it is definitely counted in as good krafted beers. [Beer always taste best when fresh]
