Last Sunday, I was browsing in a nearby neighbourhood (Serangoon Gardens, for all you Singaporean readers) gourmet mini-supermart (not a regular mini mart but a scaled down version of a high end supermart – there is a difference, ok?) Anyways, I came across the beer section accidentally as usual.

Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of....

They were carrying a nice extensive range of mainly foreign beers, cos Singapore only have one, at most two, national beers. Archipelago, Hoe, James Squire, Golden and Ambers, Carlsberg Gold, Chimay, Duvel, Konig Ludwig Weissbier, Real Belgian Pil. Erdinger, San Mig Light and Pale, Sol, Corona, Chang. Tiger, of course.  I left out a few of the more common ones and the stouts. What stood out also was the wider-than-usual range of alcopops. Like the Singapore Sling – good grief.

Nice pretty pink packaging.. ahem

Here’s the gem: Organic beer. I had heard of it, but this is the first time I had seen one in my local mini-supermart. It costs quite a pretty penny (S$10.75) for a pint bottle but I guess that goes with the organic territory. The name? Duchy Originals Organic Ale.

Organic beer - looks like a small bottle of wine though
