Our favourite time of the year is here, when everyone has an excuse – and even encouraged to indulge in festivities and spend quality down time with colleagues, friends and family.

We say, ‘Cheers to that!’ And where there is a gathering, it never hurts to have a drink or two to keep the mood light. So, if you’ve still got year-end holiday celebrations lined up, it’s not too late to grab a cold, refreshing pint! Check out our recommendations on where to get the best specialty and craft beers in town.

1. Amber Nectar

Amber Nectar is a craft beer specialist and pub at Robertson Walk, where you can enjoy artisanal craft beers from Germany and Belgium, freshly tapped draughts, or even their special smoked beers!

If you’ve never tried it before, now is the time to do so. Smoked beers are made with malted barley dried over an open flame, resulting in a distinct smoky flavour that varies depending on the type of wood used in its preparation. Amber Nectar carries 3 kinds of smoked German beers – a must-try with your mates over a range of classic Bavarian German cuisine like crispy pork knuckles, sausages and mash!

If takeaway is more of your thing, you can buy four different customised growler bottles to bring your favourite beers home with you – and bring it back for refills!

2. Boulevard

Boulevard at Changi City Point is a modern bistro by day and a chic bustling bar by night, with its clean, industrial feel of brick walls and chrome lighting. Aside from great food, Boulevard carries a wide range of international beers and beverages. Try their extensive range of the famous Belgian beer Chimay – hailing from one of the 11 breweries in the world that produce Trappist beer! Unwind with some mates with a pint or two over some beech wood fired pizzas, bar bites, and specialty charcuterie and cheese boards.
