Red Dot Dempsey Catch-up and Homebrew sharing night (14 March 2023)

It has been a while that CBA has been back to Red Dot, one of the Grand Dames of the Singapore Craft Beer scene after Brewery and Archipelago. Red Dot has been a CBA friend for a long time, and some of the members remember fondly interacting with founder Mr Ernest Ng.

Ernest’s brewing journey started 14 years ago, when the craft beer industry here was still in its infancy. His pioneering spirit led to RedDot BrewHouse, Singapore’s first locally-owned microbrewery cum restaurant in Dempsey Hill in 2007. The brand has since won numerous awards, expanded to Melbourne and Myanmar, and produced Singapore’s youngest certified female brewmaster in Crystalla, Ernest’s daughter.

The father and daughter duo continue to innovate, with unique flavours such as a red dragon fruit beer, banana stout, and their signature Monster Green Lager beer, a spirulina-infused beer that boasts health benefits

We had a chillax evening sipping on the classic Red Dot brews, when Crystalla popped by and spent time sharing about some of the new brews she was experimenting with - the likes of a Peach Gelato Sour and a light and zippy Stout.

She also shared about her involvement in a Probiotic Beer project she was involved in as well as about the progress of the Whiskey distillery brewing at the back of where we were seated!

Thank you Red Dot for hosting us again, and cheers to the renewal of our historic ties!
