With 30 tipples on tap (including cocktails like margaritas and Singapore Slings), the hardest decision you’ll have to make here is what to order first. With all of the beers brewed on-site, you can taste your way through excellent drops like a Nitro Chocolate Milk Stout, a Blood Orange Saison and Lime-Infused Red Sour. The food menu here is equally as drool-worthy with suckling pig, crispy pork, 15-hour smoked beef brisket and grilled snapper all on offer.

The 1925 Microbrewery

All of the microbrewery drops pay homage to the family’s Teochew heritage. There’s the tasty Liang Teh, a crisp lager made with white chrysanthemum, inspired by their Grandmother who used to brew herbal tea for them when they were young. Or try flavour bomb, Yellow Van (named after the car the founder’s grandfather used to ferry them around in) - a tasty pale ale filled with bursts of Citra.

Founded in 2014, DAILY BEER is the leading craft beer and fried chicken chain in South Korea with over 370 outlets. Known for its innovative approach and commitment to quality, DAILY BEER partnered with Katrina Group to open its first international location in Singapore’s Telok Ayer district in April 2024 followed by a second location in CHIJMES just a few months later. Highlights include a Telok Ayer exclusive, the refreshing, fruity Telok Pale Ale, and the K-Ginseng Lager, brewed with whole Korean ginseng. Brewed in Busan, the award-winning Gijang Sour Weiss (served only at the CHIJMES location) is a dry-hopped sour ale featuring a tart, lemony, and fruity flavour, balanced by a robust hop character at its core. Made purely with malt, hops, and yeast, this brew pairs impeccably with their signature Angry Bird - Red fried chicken, as the acidity and tang of the sour Weiss can help to cut through the heat of the red and spicy sauce.
