I'm not sure where Tiger beer is brewed .. must look it up ;-o
There was a brewery behind Thye Hong Biscuit factory. The steam that arises out of the drain-pipes were sooo intoxicating. We used to play there as kids !
Further down Alexander Rd was also a brewery - for Guinness Stout ?
U sure bring back memories of my once-so-peaceful neighbourhood :-)
@sher, APB! Yes, I think that's the one. But I thought it's near Alexandra, no? I remembered seeing a sign near where I lived (in Queensway) as a kid.
Anyway, it seems that Tiger has become known as the Singaporean beer... will be writing about that again.
@xiaocangshu, lol... great one that. Do you know that Tiger is sold at $1 per can in army barracks? But I heard that those sold in the barracks are of inferior quality.
@dutchie, Oh, I thought there is a brewery at Alexandra too. Not sure about the brand of beer produced though.
You grew up in Alexandra too? We're practically neighbours then. I spent the better part of my childhood in Queenstown... and Queenstown shopping centre was my haunt. lol
As a teenager I used to save up my pocket money so that I could buy an arm-load of pirated elpees. Yes, Queenstown Shopping centre was my haunt then. Wonder what's become of it these days ?
But I do remember the popular beer in coffeeshops when I was a kid was actaully Guinness Stout.
@joeru, Shows how much we know about our own country... they should give out Tiger beer in those National Day packs distributed during parades. It'll make the parades more 'happening' anyway.
