Westvleteren 12

What a find when you do housekeeping! In the midst of the semi-lockdown, we (re)discovered a stash of Westvleteren 12 (a fantastic Belgian quad if you're not familiar!) that's been cellaring quietly for 7 years. In normal times we'll gift some to friends and donate the rest to raise funds for charitable causes.


First, a little about Westvleteren 12 (also known as Westie 12). This is a Belgian quadrupel brewed at the hallowed grounds of Sint Sixtus Westvleteren Trappist Monastery. Long revered as one of the best beers in the world (a 100 pointer on Ratebeer, BeerAdvocate and by numerous beer reviewers), this is also one of the rarest beers in the world.

What’s happened to our stash?

We’d given them away! To enliven the limbo state that the F&B industry were in, 7 craft beer venues Druggists, Almost Famous, In Bad Co, Freebird, Chooby’s, Bunker Bunker and The Otherside gathered together and held lucky draws. Watch results announcement by Lincoln here

Craft Beer Launches

December and January were busy months! Kicked off with the launch of Melbourne’s very popular craft brewery Bodriggy, followed by the launch of cult brand Omnipollo in Singapore. All we heard for the rest of the month was “Do you have more Bianca Lassi Gose?” Sorry folks, we’re out but new stuffs are on the way.

Then in January, we hit the jackpot when Danish craft breweries Dry & Bitter and Gamma Brewing agreed to ship us their liquids. They first came to our radar back in 2018-2019 when our Swedish friends said we would love their beers. Spot on, we did, and so did Singapore. 36 cartons of beer flew outta warehouse on Day One.

We’re always looking for new spots to launch great beers and new partners to collaborate with. If you’d like to get first dips or be part of our future launch campaigns, whatsApp us at +65 93851752 with “Hey Corrine, I’d like to join your upcoming launch campaign. Send me more deets “ to get the conversation rolling. Be part of the fun!

Upcoming Event: Trappist Ale Night

In the world of beers, there’s craft. And within this craft, there’s Trappist.

This time, 12 different Trappist beers from 6 Trappist monasteries will make the flight.
