This week, the 175proofers were lucky enough to continue to sample more of the yet-to-hit-the-shelves specialty beers from Carlsberg, courtesy of it’s Singapore marketing head, Anto Setiadi. This time its the Tuborg T-Beer Mexicana. This light bodied, almost headless brew has the taste of beer but with an added twist of lemon (yes, its there) [...]
As a young kid growing up on a healthy diet of football, I started gaining a good knowledge of gegraphical locations by reading the league tables of various football leagues. By the time I was 10, I was able to point out where Santos was in Brazil or Zagreb in the Balkans. While I still [...]
It’s taken a long time for cider to gain popularity in Singapore. For the longest time, cider fans had to manage with pretenders like E33 before Strongbow taps found homage in pubs around town. But these days, even Cold Storage stocks up on Magners and when on promotion, it goes for less than $8 a [...]
It’s a special day for our favourite bartender in Tokyo and probably the best in Shimbashi! Our buddy, Yuske is the resident bartender at Dry Dock in Tokyo and it’s his birthday today. And we know you’re reading this so happy birthday! And thanks for giving me Shiga Kogen beers! I shared the Shiga Kogen [...]

And when I made my first ever trip to Qingdao last week, I was really looking forward to checking out the “Beer Street” in the city and visit the Tsingtao brewhouse. Unfortunately, on [...]
With less than a week to go before the 2010 World Expo opens in Shanghai, 175proof.com received preview tickets to visit the site this past weekend. This is just one of those things on my bucket list, including watching U2 in concert, go shark diving and make a pilgrimmage to the Muchen Oktoberfest (which we [...]
Singapore’s most popular beer gets upgraded after it’s last facelift in 2005. Our homegrown beer takes on this new look to commemorate the Year of the Tiger. All the gold trimmings have been replaced with platinum touches and this new look has already walked off with both the Gold and Silver accolades at the 2009 [...]
For years, Foster’s was the only Aussie beer available on draft here and even it hardly qualifies as a Aussie beer these days since it no longer widely served in Australia. We both love our Aussie beers, both the industrial brews and the numerous craft beers from Downunder. It was a pleasant surprise when we [...]
It’s impossible not to have seen Tiger beer’s latest advertising campaign – The last Tiger worth playing for. Almost as sure as you would get brown and yellow tablets from a pack of M&Ms, you’ll spot Tiger’s new commercial blaring on television, plastered at bus shelters and walls of coffeeshops all over.
