The craft beer scene in Singapore has grown into a citywide spread of tank-to-tap breweries and multi-tap bars, and finding good craft beer in Singapore now means choosing between rooftop microbreweries, hawker-centre stalls and neighbourhood taprooms. This guide gathers ten real, currently-operating spots — local breweries that make their own beer and bars that pour rotating guest taps — each checked against its own website or official listing. Treat it as a shortlist to explore, not a ranking.

1. LeVeL33

LeVeL33 is a brew-on-site microbrewery on the 33rd floor of Marina Bay Financial Centre, and it bills itself as the world's highest microbrewery in a building, with panoramic views over Marina Bay. It pours house-brewed styles including a blonde lager, IPA, stout, porter and wheat beer, plus a Champagne-yeast 'Brut' beer the team says is bottle-fermented. The kitchen runs what LeVeL33 calls 'ContemBrewery' cuisine, working brewer's spent grain into its own house-made dishes.

2. Brewerkz

Brewerkz is a long-established local craft brewery that brews its own beer in Singapore and runs a spread of bar-restaurants, from Riverside Point and One Fullerton to East Coast Park, Seletar and Mandai Wildlife Reserve. Its beers are grouped into series — signatures alongside Singapore-themed and seasonal brews — covering approachable styles such as golden ale and tropical lager, with a non-alcoholic option too. Each outlet serves a full menu the brewery describes as contemporary Western and Asian-inspired dishes with local touches.

3. Little Island Brewing Co

Little Island Brewing Co is a microbrewery that brews unfiltered, unpasteurised beer on-site and pours it from a bank of copper taps, with its laid-back flagship in Changi Village plus outlets at South Beach and Gillman Barracks. The warehouse-style taproom is rustic and largely open-air, and the kitchen doubles as a smokehouse known for slow-smoked brisket and pork belly alongside grilled plates. It suits an unhurried session away from the city centre.

4. RedDot BrewHouse

RedDot BrewHouse is a homegrown microbrewery at Dempsey Hill that describes itself as one of Singapore's pioneering craft breweries and says it has brewed on-site since 2007. It pours its own year-round beers across easy-drinking pilsner, weizen and kölsch styles, and is known for an unusual green-coloured lager, all served in a leafy, pet-friendly setting. There is a full food menu, and the brewery also runs tours and contract brewing.

5. The 1925 Brewing Co

The 1925 Brewing Co is a local craft brewery that says 'we brew our own beers,' having expanded its production brewery in Mandai while keeping a taproom-restaurant in Joo Chiat. It pairs its house bottled and draught beers with an unusual food angle — traditional Teochew fish porridge that the team says is cooked the old-school way. The result is a distinctive blend of neighbourhood brewery and heritage-style Singaporean cooking.

6. People People Brewing Co

People People Brewing Co is a tank-to-tap brewery from the team behind Burnt Ends, set in a large space at Resorts World Sentosa's WEAVE that can be reached without paying the Sentosa island entry fee. Beer is brewed on-site and poured fresh from a row of 1,500-litre tanks through custom taps, spanning core beers plus seasonal and small-batch releases. The food follows the group's live-fire approach, with wood-fired pizzas, rotisserie and shareable plates.

7. Smith Street Taps

Smith Street Taps is a long-running craft-beer stall tucked inside the Chinatown Complex hawker centre, pouring a constantly-rotating line-up of draught beers from local and international brewers. Because the board leans on guest pours and brewery collaborations it changes often and rewards repeat visits — and you drink among the hawker stalls rather than in a polished bar. It keeps limited, mainly-evening hours and isn't open every day, so check before you head down.

8. Good Luck

Good Luck is a Haji Lane taproom that champions Singapore-brewed beer, and says at least half of its roughly dozen taps are always reserved for local microbreweries. Set in an old shophouse, it pairs those pours with Asian-inspired cocktails and Singaporean small plates through a tie-up with Fatt Choy. It's a compact, neighbourhood spot for drinkers who want to work through what the local scene is making.

9. Druggists

Druggists is a craft-beer taproom and restaurant set in a heritage shophouse on Tyrwhitt Road that still houses the Singapore Chinese Druggists Association. It pours a large, frequently-rotating range of craft beers from custom-built taps — alongside natural wines and non-alcoholic options — so the board is rarely the same twice. A proper kitchen turns out Asian-leaning sharing plates, making it as much a dinner spot as a drinking one.

10. Almost Famous

Almost Famous is a craft-beer bar tucked inside the CHIJMES complex near City Hall, with a rotating tap list of craft pours plus cocktails in a stark, design-led room. Following a recent revamp it leans into a Korean-inspired small-plates menu built to go with the beers. It's a central, style-conscious option for a drink in the City Hall area.

How to choose

  • Decide between a brewery and a multi-tap bar. A brew-on-site microbrewery pours its own fresh house styles and often runs tours, while a multi-tap bar rotates guest beers from many brewers — one gives depth in a single house range, the other breadth across the scene.
  • Ask how often the taps rotate. Rotating boards mean the beer is fresh and there's usually something new, but a beer you loved last visit may be gone; if you have a favourite, check whether it's a core pour or a one-off before travelling across town.
  • Look at how much local Singapore beer is on. If supporting homegrown microbreweries matters to you, seek out taprooms that reserve taps for local brewers; if you prefer imports or a particular style, scan the tap list or bottle fridge first.
  • Match the food and setting to your plan. Craft venues here range from smokehouses and wood-fired kitchens to hawker stalls with no seating of their own — decide whether you want a full dinner, bar snacks or just standing-room pints before you pick.
  • Factor in location, hours and how you'll get home. Spots span rooftops, Sentosa, Changi Village and heartland shophouses, and some keep limited or evening-only hours, so confirm opening times and transport, since a few close early in the week or sit far from an MRT.
