Brewerkz is an American-style brewpub, making its own microbrews right on the premises since 1997. The vast interior has a trendy industrial feel with super high ceilings and exposed pipes and beams, warmed by an abundance of dark wood. The Canadian brewmaster crafts some fine beers, including the ever-popular IPA (India Pale Ale), golden ale, brown ale, alt bier and even a pilsner lager. If you can't decide, try a sampler of several styles. The food here is excellent as well, featuring American / British favorites such as cheddar- and bacon-topped potato skins, nachos, wings, fish and chips, shepherd's pie, baby back ribs, grilled steaks and jambalaya. A big screen TV is tuned to all the big games, whether it's rugby, football or baseball.

One of Singapore's two brew pubs, Paulaner always has two regular freshly brewed beers, Munich Lager and Munich Dark, along with a couple of distinctive seasonal beers. Sample them inside or out in the beer garden, then head upstairs where you can dig into some traditional Bavarian cuisine, like cheese spaetzle, wiener schnitzel, weisswurst and pork knuckles. Sunday brunch is great.
