We asked Colin from TSA Wines what he'd serve to someone who loves retro electric guitars 🎸 (like the one below by Hammers and Chords).

And he picked...
🥁🥁🥁 420 Strain G13 IPA from SweetWater Brewing Company

The G13 IPA is a w**d inspired with aromas of both hops and w**d. This beer smells like ma*****na and tastes like delicious, soft IPA.

Spoiler alert: There is no w**d/ma*****na in the G13.

🍺 🍺 🍺

p.s. We asked Sam Orh Gao Taproom the same question. Here's what Sam paired with the Ibanez https://www.facebook.com/daocraftsg/posts/3173316749620424

Wow we almost missed this! Congrats 🎉 🎊 to Orh Gao Taproom for being named one of the best bars in Singapore by Timeout Magazine just last month.

Sam! We're expecting at least 10 pints to celebrate. There are no strong ! Only weak men!

What would you serve someone who has a retro-styled RG 120 slung over the shoulder as she/he walks into your bar or ?

We asked Sam from Orh Gao Taproom and Colin from TSA Wines!

Sam would go for an ice cold , a that's the result of Metallica x Stone Brewing's Arrogant Consortia imprint.

They’re both
Genre-defying 👍🏻🍺 🎸
Fiercely independent 👍🏻🍺 🎸
And challenge conventions 👍🏻🍺 🎸

What will Colin pick? Will he choose the same ? Stay tuned to find out!

🥁 "Handmade drums... SERIOUSLY?" Yes, we met the man. His name is George and he has a workshop right here in Singapore where he designs and crafts from scratch!

"The drums are an exposition: they represent the best of what the maker has to offer the world. His thoughts, his feelings, his dedication, his heart. They are a gift of love from the maker," says George.

Crafting a single drum that's true to him can take up to 50 hours. A 5-drum set would take him 250 hours, that's an entire month. It's a labour of love for sure.

Stay tuned! 🎶 We will be posting more about George who is also the founder of Pantheon Percussion and what's involved in crafting drums while hanging out Orh Gao Taproom with our kaki Sam!

A couple of long weekends coming up! Here's an idea: Pick up a homebrew kit and brew up your own at home.

As total newbs to , we had no idea how to start. Good thing we had Raymond from iBrew. He got us started on the Coopers Brew Kit.

He promised us it would be easy and it was!
Step 1: Mix
Step 2: Brew
Step 3: Bottle
Step 4: Chill and

Nothing quite as satisfying as the taste of your own ! Totally understand why our friends like EK from The 1925 Brewing Co. love making ! The pro path is not for us tho. We'll probably stick to casual brewing. Is that a thing?

p.s. We are so glad to bought the bigger Cooper kit (brews 30 bottles instead of 15). Here's the step-by-step instructional video Raymond recommended we watch in case we forget how to DIY at home. https://youtu.be/uGZEKesOPqk
