5 Best Breweries in Singapore (2026)

RedDot Brewhouse is one of Singapore's pioneering local craft breweries, set in the lush greenery of Dempsey Hill. It's a brewpub in the fullest sense, house-brewed beer alongside a proper food menu, in a mostly open-air, dog-friendly space that doubles as a wedding and event venue. The craft beer is the signature draw, and you can grab bottles to take home. It manages to feel like a rustic escape while still being minutes from the city, which is a big part of why people keep coming back.

Upward Taproom is a craft beer bar tucked into the Mercure Icon hotel on Club Street, in the Telok Ayer and Chinatown pocket. It isn't a brewery itself, but it's a beer-lover's room: a rotating selection that changes almost daily, drawn from breweries near and far, with ratings synced to Untappd so you can track what you're drinking. Sours, hazies, and fruited beers get singled out constantly, and the owner and crew are known for walking you through the list. There's alfresco seating, air-conditioned space inside, and skewers to go with your flight.

Little Island Brewing Co has anchored Changi Village for over a decade, an award-winning brewpub built for a laid-back, seaside session. The open-air setting near the coast gives it a holiday feel that's rare in Singapore, and there's live music on selected nights, generous food portions, and enough space to host large events and weddings. The craft beer is the centerpiece, fresh and varied, backed by hearty grilled fare. It's the kind of place you settle into for the afternoon rather than pop by for one round.

SG Taps calls itself a one-stop local craft beer place, and on Duxton Hill it lives up to it with around 20 draft beers always on rotation. The kitchen leans Japanese-style bar snacks with a local twist, wagyu cubes, katsu sticks, mentaiko pasta, so the food is built to pair with what's pouring. Staff are known for steering you to the right beer for your taste, and the room runs relaxed but lively. It fills up on weeknights, so a reservation helps.

The Brewing Ground sits in the Joo Chiat area and is, in honest terms, an all-day brunch and coffee cafe rather than a beer brewery, the brewing here is about coffee and community. It runs daytime hours, roughly 8:30am to 5pm, with a glass-enclosed dining room and a pets-and-kids-friendly alfresco area. Reviewers come for crab pasta, wagyu cheeseburgers, mentaiko fries, and coffee in a relaxed weekday setting. It has a strong local following as a neighborhood cafe.
