One Drop Brewing Co.Sketch An Imperial Pastry Stout made from the first-runnings of 3 different mashes, boiled for copious amounts of minutes, and conditioned for ages in stainless on Nutella®, honeycomb, milk sugar, and toasted marshmallow for good measure. Black as night and thick as oil, this is one chonky sugar-rich sud tube that’ll keep you on your toes with every sip. A black book full of German Montanas.Imperial Pastry Stout10.2%
 Join the Dots A new topped-up-to-the-brim kettle sour that’s been given full Ice-Cream Smoothie Treatment. Starting with a lactose and wheat heavy base soured with their house lacto culture, they’ve then gone and rolled up some mean dots of mango, raspberry, blackcurrant, and marshmallow, with a touch of vanilla ice cream powder.Ice Cream Sour6.0%
Rocky Ridge Brewing Co.Nakama in collaboration with Totopia Brewery Totopia Brewing, hailing from Nagakute, Japan, has truly mastered the art of Sour IPA. As the legends they are, they’ve generously entrusted Rossco with their coveted recipe book. Thus, emerges their collaboration: Hops on Nihon, a Fruited Sour IPA. It’s a testament to the fusion of cultures and flavors, where the expertise of Totopia meets Rossco’s innovative touch.
Just like Japan itself, this beer is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, offering a journey through taste that’s both familiar and refreshingly unexpected.

About the brands:

One Drop Brewing Co

At One Drop Brewing Co., our journey began with a shared vision and a passion for creating a unique community-centric experience. Meg and Clay, husband and wife, embarked on a quest to bring a brewery to Botany, an area devoid of such a venue. Despite lacking prior beer experience and facing funding challenges, their determination led them to their dream.

During a transformative trip to Europe, they discovered inspiration in breweries across the continent. Serendipitously, they encountered Nick, a talented Kiwi brewer, in Croatia. The connection was instantaneous, and One Drop Brewing Co. was born. Our constant source of excitement lies in the art of creation. Drawing on our collective creativity, we infuse our beers with unconventional flavors and ideas. A brainstorming machine, we find inspiration in everything from potato chips to desserts, resulting in extraordinary and fearless brews.

Rocky Ridge Brewing Co

Here at Rocky Ridge, we take a couple of things seriously: making F*&^ing good beer, and, importantly, not messing with the planet. Our story is long and proud. We’ve evolved from humble beginnings here on our farm to build a thriving, community-focused brewery. Our aim is simple: to make F*&^ing good beer, using the best local produce, farmed in the best way, with the least environmental impact.

We are Australia’s first Certified Sustainable Brewery and committed to net zero emissions from the brewing process by 2025.

Our farm and brewery take their name from a natural outcrop of ironstone that runs through the centre of our farm; “Rocky Ridge” perfectly sums up our slice of paradise and ironically sums up the somewhat rocky road that we are on as well.

We acknowledge the Wadandi People, traditional custodians of the land on which we work, and acknowledge the elders past, present, and emerging.

Alive Brewing

Alive Brewing is a modern Singapore brewery established in 2020 amidst the Covid-19 pandemic by a small team of 2 friends from school: a financial analyst fascinated with craft beer and home brewing; a chemical engineer inspired by art and design. Since then, we have been pursuing our obsession with brewing a wide range of delicious beers, paired with characterful designs.

Our philosophy is to produce a myriad of beer styles that are highly delectable and satisfying to taste. Whether it is a simple or an extravagant beer, we are relentless in brewing and delivering them in the most exacting way possible. We hope to bring our passions to both craft beer enthusiasts and the broader base of beer drinkers wanting to explore and experience great tasting beers. Join us on our journey and keep beers Alive!

Tempest Brew Co.

Every beer we brew is a collaborative effort between everyone in the team; from conceptualisation, to brewing, to packaging, to marketing. Yet, this is by no means a linear process: we iterate at every stage to ensure every beer we create is a beer we’re proud of.

We’ve no interest in trend-jacking, instead we seek inspiration from other places: music, art, literature, food, nature. Each beer we make is a story to tell and an opportunity to transport the drinker to another place. 

Super Bueno

It is the exclusive in-house brand of craft beer available on draft in all Chimi’s and Chimichanga outlets in Singapore. We work with a local brewery, Brewerkz to come up with Singapore’s first salt and lime Mexican Lager.

About Smith Street Taps

Smith Street Taps is Singapore’s original all-draft craft beer hawker stall in Chinatown run by two of the country’s earliest craft beer pioneers, Meng Chao and Daniel Goh.

About Chimichanga

Chimichanga, a pioneering name in the casual Mexican restaurant scene since 2016, is
delighted to announce its latest triumph: the grand opening of its newest and largest outlet at
VivoCity—Singapore’s largest shopping centre. This milestone unveiling introduces a 160-
seat culinary haven extending over 4,000 square feet, complete with both inviting indoor
seating and an alfresco dining atmosphere. Situated along the mall’s scenic waterfront, this
newest outlet offers views of the sea, Sentosa and a seafood-forward menu inspired by the
Pacific Coast of Mexico.

From its first foray in Little India, Chimichanga has become synonymous with a unique
Singaporean twist on classic Mexican dishes, blending the zest of Mexican spices with
flavours that resonate with local tastes. This innovative approach has led to the flourishing of
the brand, which includes the launch of Chimi’s at Marina Bay in 2018, the welcoming of Chimichanga Holland Village in 2020, and the exciting openings of Chimi’s
Somerset and Chimichanga Paya Lebar in 2022.

With a portfolio of six locations under the Chimichanga and Chimi’s brands, the
establishment takes pride in offering an eclectic mix of robust dishes like Burritos, Tacos,
Quesadillas, and Chimichangas, as well as gourmet selections like the beloved Angus
Ribeye and Lamb Cutlets. Accompanying these flavourful meals are hand-crafted cocktails,
including Frozen Margaritas, and the distinct taste of their own Neon Donkey Cerveza.
Step into the world of Chimichanga and Chimi’s, where a diverse array of dishes and
handcrafted drinks await to add a touch of excitement to your everyday dining experience.
