The Beer station - Singapore (Lock Road)



The first Czceh microbrewery in Singapore is situated in 9 Lock Rd at Gillmen village along depot rd. It has been 1 of my favorite hangout place with T, because of the quiet and chill out environment with greenery all around and light breeze creeps in slowly as the night goes by. In short, I feel close to nature when I am there. But, there is just 1 comment about the whole ambiance, they should change their music to just 1 type instead of interchanging the songs with a mix of hip-hop, rnb, boyband ballads, techno, classics and retro. I feel they should just play either ballads or jazz to go with the whole atmosphere.

Tand I visited the place last night again. We ordered a jug(1.3l) of CIERNE PIVO - Black Czech Pilsner Brew and a jug of REZANE PIVO - Black & White Czech Pilsner Brew during their happy hours which is from 4-8pm(usually they will extend their happy hours to about 845pm and you can pre-order as much as you want during the happy hours and get them to serve them later even after happy hours ends). Besides that, they even serve the jugs of beer with ice buckets! Excellent service!

What I like about their beers is their light and smooth taste. I will not feel bloated after drinking because they use Singapore water(more alkali then other beers) to brew the beer. They do not use any carbon dioxide during the process. They use air! Last but not least, they use pressure instead of pumps to transfer the beer from fermenting tanks to dispensing tanks and that is why their beer is not broken up and tastes better and smoother. The mix is my favourite. It has hints of honey and lemon. Whereas the black one has hints of caramel and coffee. They do serve food like beef goulash, cheese steak, and sausages which are recipes from Slovakia & Czech Republic but I have yet to try them myself. Will update once I have tried.

Check out their website and give them a visit! http://www.beer-station.com/
