Is been a good day!

Singapore trip for today is more then I expected, most of the things I plan have gone wrong. From buying train ticket to getting the right place. But in the end is all work as plan and all work well enough for me to said, Singapore is a nice place to beerbeer around. In the MRT station I saw some dudes in armor promoting Baron’s beer.

I went to Tiger live, which I was late for their last show which is at 6:30pm. I went to the wrong road, end up I mange to find it. Of all the computer was down today, I manage to sneak in and get a few glass of free beer fresh tiger. Which the taste is crisp and easy to drink. Some more is free, what can I complaint. I bought some souvenir from the shop. Pretty darn awesome.

That I met up with the person which all the beer drinker know, Alex Buchner a name that are famous around the beer industry. Again he treat me a good glass of dark beer, and later my ex-collegue treat another good glass of beer. Today is my first time taste the hops tablet. The taste is citrus in the beginning but once the bitter kick in, is crazy. Totally bitter through out my mouth. Now I know how a hops taste like, and the aroma is wonderful.

In my walk in singapore, I find that this country have a lot of potential of beer drinker, anytime anywhere I can see people drinking with beer and eating their food. Is so norm that it surprise me. I also saw this wine & beer fair which only sell 2 types of beer which is disappointing. But I did get to taste Erdinger.

Alex Buchner told me to look forward for the coming Singapore Beer Festival which is going to be big. I myself are getting ready to come to this beer festival, can’t wait to be exact. Tomorrow will be another for all the beer drinking to do. 

So far, it’s been good to me. When I told people I coming down to Singapore just for beer, the reaction is weird looking face. But after I explain to them, things get better. I have to said, Singapore is one step ahead of Malaysia, any many steps in terms of economy. I still trying my best to promote beer to Malaysian, or asking brewery that I met to come to Malaysia as I know there will be a market here for beer drinker to advance from just the normal beer.

I learn a lot today from Alex Buchner, thanks man! Cheers to you!

I’m In Singapore!

Just like I told everyone I coming down to Singapore this weekend, Guess what, I’m here. To show my love to Malaysia, I’ll be promoting Malaysia Independent Day or Merdeka in the iLAND (Yeah Right!). I arrive here way too early, around 4:30am I already reach the Golden Mile, which I give a good walk all the way from Beach Road to Little india.

On my looking way looking for The InnCrowd (the place I’m staying). I saw this 2 guys drinking Barons in front of 7-11, like what Minjie, Stephen and I would do back home. It sure feel good knowing people in Singapore are doing the same thing. But something do turn me down, I saw this shop which I though it Kilkenny bar, but it turn out to be Killiney straight away potong steam (take the fun away).

During my hard walk, I stop by and eat a roti prata, that should be my first meal in Singapore, not sure it’s a breakfast or late supper. Either way it give me some the energy.

I still feel a bit sleepy and cranky rite now. Hope I can manage to meet as many people and visit as many pubs during my 3 days visit here. can’t wait to start my hunt this afternoon. You guys will be getting more from me soon, cheers!

MinJie just called and let me know that the Malaysia Budget for 2009, beer price didn’t increase for this year, but beer best friend the cigarette will increase by RM0.60 for the 20 stick pack. So beer drinker out there, hope you didn’t stock up too much beer last night. If so, just celebrate that you will still enjoy the same price till the next budget of Malaysia is announce. Plus since today is a Friday, drink and booze as you like, enjoy! I can still enjoy my premium beer without paying extra for the already extra price….haha. It sure to be a good news on friday!
