Craft Beer Tasting Experience in Singapore

Singapore’s craft beer scene gets a friendly introduction at Bellies Craft Beer, a bar in Fortune Centre, one of the city’s older heritage buildings. Your tasting includes three pints, with a rotating range of local brews and the option to choose your own or take the staff’s recommendations.

I like two things here: the chance to try beers from Singapore microbreweries in one sitting, and the help from staff who can point you toward a style you might enjoy. The setting adds character without requiring you to plan a brewery visit.

The main consideration is that this is a bar tasting, not a tour of a brewing facility. The beer selection changes, and details such as the tasting’s duration and group size are not specified, so this suits you best if you’re happy to keep the plan simple and let the beer do the talking.

Key points

• Three full pints: The tasting gives you three beers, not just small sample pours.
• Local craft at the center: Expect a rotating range from Singapore microbreweries, with styles that may include lagers, IPAs, and stouts.
• Choose or take advice: Pick the beers yourself or ask the staff to make the selection.
• A heritage-building address: Bellies Craft Beer is at Fortune Centre, #04-24, 190 Middle Road.
• A good fit for an easy evening: Weekday hours begin at 5 p.m.; weekend hours begin at 2 p.m.
• Check the final price: The stated price information shows both US$46.99 and US$51.69, so confirm the amount shown at booking.

Three pints, one easy introduction to Singapore beer

The tasting’s simple format is its strength. You get three pints from a changing selection of local craft beers, giving you a chance to compare more than one style without having to research Singapore breweries in advance.

The selection may range from fruited lagers to Asian-flavoured IPAs, with crisp lagers and rich stouts also among the styles described. That range matters: if you know you like a light, clean beer, you can start there; if you want something more assertive, ask about the IPA or stout options. The exact beers on offer can change, so treat the examples as a guide rather than a fixed menu.

You can make the choice yourself or leave it to the staff. If you are new to craft beer, the second option is useful. Tell them what you usually drink, or mention whether you prefer something crisp, fruity, bitter, or dark. There is no need to pretend you know your hops from your malt. A good recommendation can make the tasting more enjoyable and spare you from ordering three beers that all taste much the same to you.

This is not a lesson with a stated tasting curriculum, nor is there a published list of breweries or beer names. Think of it as a relaxed way to try local brews in a bar setting. You can pay attention to differences in flavor and style, but the activity’s central appeal is the chance to sample three beers with a little help choosing them.

Bellies Craft Beer inside Fortune Centre

The venue is Bellies Craft Beer, at #04-24, 190 Middle Road, inside Fortune Centre. The building is described as one of Singapore’s oldest heritage buildings, giving the visit a setting with more character than a generic bar address. You are still going to a working bar, though, not touring a preserved historic house.

The meeting point is Fortune Centre, so make sure you have the full venue details before setting out. The bar is on the fourth floor, at unit #04-24. That unit number is a practical detail worth keeping handy, especially if you are unfamiliar with the building.

The available information does not describe the interior, seating, view, or atmosphere in detail. It does describe the space as stylish and welcoming. One customer who visited called it a small craft bar and praised the staff and the mix of local and imported beers. That is a positive sign for the service and choice, but it is only one account, so I would not treat it as proof of what every visit will be like.

The address also makes this outing easy to keep low-key. You do not need to commit to a full brewery tour or arrange a complicated itinerary. Go to Fortune Centre, settle in, and spend the time trying the beers. If you are planning a longer night, the venue’s opening hours give you room to visit later on weekdays or earlier on weekends.

What happens during the tasting

The basic plan is straightforward: arrive at Bellies Craft Beer, choose three beers or ask the staff for their picks, and enjoy the tasting. An English-speaking guide is included, though no guide’s name or detailed commentary schedule is provided. Staff are also described as offering recommendations, which can help you make the most of a selection that rotates.

The most important choice is whether to select your own pints or request the dealer’s choice. If you have firm preferences, name them. If you want to compare different kinds of beer, ask for a varied set rather than three similar pours. You can also ask what is local, since the tasting is designed to introduce Singapore’s microbreweries and the available list may include imported beers as well.

Because the selection rotates, you should not book expecting a particular label or a guaranteed lineup of styles. A fruited lager or an Asian-flavoured IPA may be available, but the exact choices depend on what is being served at the time. This changing menu is a plus if you are open to trying something new; it is less convenient if you want one specific beer.

There is no stated duration, group size, brewery stop, or brewing demonstration. The experience appears centered on drinking the three included pints at the bar. If you want a behind-the-scenes look at production, this is not the same kind of outing as a brewery tour. If you want an uncomplicated way to taste local beer without leaving central Singapore, the format is better suited to that purpose.

How to get more from three pints

Start by telling the staff what you like. You do not need technical beer vocabulary. Saying you usually drink lagers, prefer fruit-forward flavors, or avoid bitter beers gives them something useful to work with. The staff’s recommendations are one of the experience’s most promising features, and asking for guidance is likely to be more helpful than choosing unfamiliar names at random.

You can also use the three pints as a small comparison. For example, ask for styles that differ from one another, if the current selection allows it. A lager, an IPA, and a stout would give you a broader sense of the range than three beers in the same family. That is a suggestion for how to approach the tasting, not a guaranteed lineup. The bar’s rotating list determines what is actually available.

Keep in mind that three pints are substantial pours. This is more than a quick sampler, so plan for a relaxed visit rather than trying to fit it into a tight schedule. The provided details do not give the serving size in milliliters or the tasting duration, but the package specifically describes three pints. Pace yourself and allow time to enjoy them.

The selection of local and imported beer may also help you put Singapore brews in context. If both are available, ask the staff which local beer best represents the style you like, then compare it with another option. There is no formal comparison promised, but the varied choice gives you a natural opening to ask questions.

Price and what the package covers

The package is listed from US$46.99, while the summary price is US$51.69. Because those figures differ, check the current amount displayed when you make your booking rather than relying on either figure alone. The package name is Craft Beer Tasting.

For the price, the clear inclusion is three pints, along with an English-speaking guide and drinks or alcohol at selected bars. That can be reasonable value if you already planned to try several craft beers and appreciate having staff help with the choices. The value is less obvious if you would normally order only one drink, or if you are mainly seeking a detailed brewery education, which is not described as part of this experience.

Other personal expenses and tips are not included. The supplied information does not specify food, so do not assume a meal or snack is part of the package. If you want to eat, check with the venue directly or make a separate plan.

A single published rating gives the experience five out of five, and its accompanying comment praises the staff and the selection of local and imported beers. That is encouraging, especially since service and range are central to the appeal. Still, one rating is too small a sample to establish a consistent pattern. I would treat it as a useful positive signal, not a guarantee.

Best timing and who should book

Bellies Craft Beer is open Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, it opens at 2 p.m. and closes at 10:30 p.m. Those hours make a weekend afternoon visit possible, while weekday plans need to start in the evening.

The tasting is for people aged 18 and over. It should suit you if you enjoy trying different beers, are curious about Singapore-made brews, or want a casual bar stop with a little structure. It is also a sensible choice for someone who likes craft beer but does not want to organize a brewery visit.

It may be a weaker match if you do not drink alcohol, need a non-alcoholic option, want a specific beer guaranteed, or expect a long guided tour. None of those alternatives or features is confirmed in the provided details. The experience is clearly built around three alcoholic pints and a changing beer list.

Booking changes are allowed up to 24 hours before the activity, with exceptions for certain bookings and vouchers. The voucher is valid only on the specified date and time, if a time applies. You can cancel for a full refund at least 24 hours before the activity date, based on local time. Confirmation is expected within minutes; if it does not arrive, contact customer support.

Should you book this Singapore craft beer tasting?

Book it if you want an easy way to try three beers from Singapore’s craft scene, with staff ready to help you choose, in a heritage-building setting. Its best features are the local focus, the rotating range, and the chance to leave the selection to someone at the bar if you are unsure what to order.

Skip it if your priority is a brewery production tour, a fixed list of named beers, or a very short sampling session. The format is simple and the pours are full pints, so it works best when you have time to sit and enjoy them. Before paying, check the price shown at checkout, since the supplied figures differ. If those points fit your plans, Bellies Craft Beer offers a practical, low-fuss introduction to Singapore craft beer.
