Prost!

Have you heard of a microbrewery in Singapore besides Tiger (of course) and Brewerkz. Here's another one if you're not aware of - Paulaner. Yes, it's German. For your information, here's the Munich Paulaner (Germany), and here's the Singapore Paulaner. I'm very impressed with the germany's site, beautifully illustrated and animated ;) *thumbs up*

Last night, I was there for Stammtisch. In case you're wondering what's that, it's actually a monthly gathering for German speakers, don't get the wrong idea. You don't see a lot of germans, some... and in fact there are a lot of locals or foreigners (japanese, spanish, vietnamese) whom are fluent in the language - very impressed.

Inside Paulaner Bräuhaus (Singapore), you see painting/sketches of the Munich Paulaner... furnished with maple wood and dimly lit... It cultivates a very relaxed atmosphere for a drink or two. Not forgetting, they brew really good beer under "The german law of purity". Munich Lager and Munich Dark, I like both equally!

We were at the restaurant on level 2, food can be a bit pricey however the standard is there. I love their sauerkraut and mashed potato... simply wouldn't get sick of it! A few of us shared the sausage platter, Weisswurst and the infamous crispy pork knuckle, so it turned out fairly reasonable and portion was just right. I was with a group of locals whom have mastered german (already fluent), but we spoke in English throughout. I am very very surprised to know they are so similar people like me, whom have travelled a fair bit, love to travel, love the german language and so interested in their cultures... Thank you, I found you guys!!

I was mentally exhausted from work to be listening on the brewery tour, even though Alex (the brewmaster) was quite entertaining and his english isn't bad at all for a german. Here's some reading if you are curious about the process. And of course... pictures!
