Yes, it’s ridiculously ulu. But trust us, a visit to this one-year-old microbrewery is well worth your Grab fare. Little Island occupies a warehouse-like space on the eastern reaches of Singapore, pouring out a range of ales, porters and stouts. Bonus points for its laid-back vibe – the beach is just a stroll away – and the ’60s psychedelic-inspired beer labels.
The draft beer list – Little Island also serves craft cider – is on constant rotation, with the brewery frequently concocting new brews. A pint of Sunlight is light enough to offer respite from the afternoon heat, while That Old Black Magic Irish Stout is a smooth and full-bodied beverage. And the prices are cut-rate, too. Thanks to Little Island’s pour-it-yourself system, you’ll only pay about $2 to $3 for 100 millilitres of happy juice.
Little Island also excels on the food front, serving deftly executed dishes like fish and chips, wagyu beef brisket and wood-fired sourdough pizzas.
Steve Spinney is the brains behind the vats. The English brewmaster is best known for setting up the now-defunct Storm Beer brewery in Bali, and he’s responsible for Little Island’s intensely tasty beverages.
