Independent Singapore craft brewery that began as a "gypsy" brewer in 2017 and now brews at its own automated brewery in Tuas.
Brewlander launched in March 2017, billing itself as Singapore's first gypsy brewer: it made its beer on other breweries' kit while founder John Wei, a homebrewer since 2008, built up the brand. In 2020 it opened its own fully automated brewery in Tuas, in the far west of the island, where lead brewer Edwin Tan runs production.

Where to drink it
There is no Brewlander taproom, and the brewery doesn't run tours at the moment. Cans are sold through its own online shop with island-wide delivery, and you'll find it on tap at bars including Smith Street Taps in Chinatown. Brewlander also runs its own beer festival, Brewnanza Fest, which filled Marina Bay Sands' Expo Hall C in August 2025.
