Gents evening at the Tiger Brewery

One has principles but one must be flexible. I don't like Heineken and was sad when they clinched the deal to purchase the Asia Pacific Brewery, makers of Tiger beer, shortly after we got here in July. But the Brewery Tour is a must so I went on the "tour" with a couple of Swedish friends yesterday afternoon. It is not a glamorpus old brick building with coppar brewing stills. Instead it is a nondescript building along a motorway in a huge industrial zone. The tour was a joke, but it ended with a 45 minute sampling time so we got to drink a sample if all 6 of their own brews plus stuff they brew under licence (incl Heineken) and Bulmers cider (which tasted ghastly). My favourite: Archipelago Pale Ale. A great evening. Here is the inevitable snapshot
