Tomorrow will be an exciting day in the beer annals of Singapore. Andre and I will be at iBrew Challenge 2009 to sample some of the finest homebrew and craft beers in the (is)land and hang out with fellow brewers and enthusiasts. Not to mention the homemade wines. And that the beer is freeflow. Just pay for the entrance ticket online or slightly more at the event.

So if anyone wants to use this occasion as a platform to meet us, I’d suggest we have our very own 175proof Party happening at the same time. Yes, we’ll beerjack the event. Drop us a line here and we can arrange to meet up. Chances are we’ll be keeping very close to where the free flow beer is being dispensed.

Will be great to hang out with Moehadi, local homebrew extraordinaire, and sample his Conkerwood black beer which according to him, was specially brewed for this event (and complimentary!) and has a texture and taste like Guinness cos he’s pumping nitrogen. Woo hoo! Tks, Moe!
