Beer Can Lah is in Esquire Singapore!

Beer Can Lah and Singapore Homebrew at Singapore Makers Faire

Natasha, myself and our Homebrew Club friends will be at Singapore Mini Makers Faire on the 26th and the 27th of July at the Senja Cashew Community Centre in Bukit Panjang. There, we will be showing of some of our equipment, and hopefully brewing a mini full mash brew so people can see the process and what it involves. Unfortunately, we won’t be allowed to give out tasters of our beer as the organisers are not allowing it, but hey, if you really want to try our beers, drop us a message and we’ll have you over for a meeting.
