The Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC), in collaboration with Brewerkz, Singapore’s original craft brewery, launch Islander Brew Singapore, the country’s first leisure destination-inspired beers. A series of four exciting flavours, each craft beer features a unique taste inspired by edible plants found in Sentosa – cacao, lime, jasmine and nutmeg – and are named after the island’s landmarks – Siloso Beach, Tanjong Rimau, Fort Siloso, Bukit Manis.
The landmarks were chosen to represent leisure offerings that embody one of the four themes under Sentosa’s ‘Make Time for a Holiday’ campaign – Island Life, Heritage Discovery, Wellness Escape, and Nature Adventure:
1. Islander Brew Singapore – Siloso Beach
Renowned for being the hippest beach on Sentosa, Siloso Beach is the place to head to for thrills and fun, with its golden sands lined with water sports and the trendiest bars and restaurants. This beer is a refreshing gose brewed with sea salt and kaffir lime.
2. Islander Brew Singapore – Tanjong Rimau
One of Singapore’s best-kept secrets, Tanjong Rimau at the western tip of Sentosa is home to one of the region’s most unique rock formations and is a coastal headland rich in marine life, natural reefs and even hidden caves. This classic wheat beer has hints of nutmeg and coriander and a citrusy yuzu aroma.
3. Islander Brew Singapore – Fort Siloso
Built by the British in 1879, Fort Siloso is Singapore’s last remaining preserved coastal fort. An homage to the heritage of the British base on Sentosa, this English-styled Porter is velvety in texture with a rich chocolatey flavour and hints of coffee and vanilla notes.
4. Islander Brew Singapore – Bukit Manis
Home to some of Sentosa’s wellness spas and lush nature, Bukit Manis is a gem for those looking to indulge in some true relaxation and pampering. This Jasmine Kolsch brew is crisp, sparkling and slightly fruity with the aromatic hint of jasmine.
SDC and Brewerkz have also joined hands to make the Islander Brew Singapore’s first carbon-neutral beers. This effort is part of SDC’s broader decarbonisation roadmap for Sentosa, and Brewerkz’s aspirations to create increasingly sustainable products in its business activities. This initiative illustrates how individuals and organisations can make environmentally sustainable choices and reduce one’s carbon footprint.
Islander Brew Singapore – Where to get your Islander Brew
Sentosa’s guests will be the first to get their hands on the Islander Brew. The craft beer will be made available in individual cans, four-packs and other variations. From 1 December 2020, the beers will be rolled out at participating Sentosa food and beverage establishments, and subsequently hit the shelves at participating supermarkets and online retail channels from 7 December 2020.

Brewerkz and Islander Brew are part of ‘Made With Passion’, a joint initiative by the Singapore Brand Office and Singapore Tourism Board, supported by Enterprise Singapore. ‘Made With Passion’ is a national marketing initiative to promote consumer awareness and appreciation for local lifestyle brands by showcasing the many facets of passion that go into creating the products enjoyed today.
