Brewlander & Co.

Brewlander & Co. was founded in 2017 by John Wei, also known by the moniker 'Brewlander' on brewing forums. John’s passion and love for brewing was what got him to quit his corporate day job and brew delicious beers full time. Although he started small by brewing in his Singapore HDB flat, he eventually gained recognition in local homebrewing competitions and from the media. In 2020, John and his team took a bold step to build a fully automated brewery despite the COVID lockdown. Today, Brewlander is now one of the largest independent craft breweries in Singapore!

let's tap into their story!

Brewlander & Co. started with John's fervent passion for homebrewing, which was also reflected in his online presence on brewing forums. That’s right, Brewlander started out in John’s humble HDB flat! Since then, the brewery has diligently maintained the essence of homebrewing—having fun and continuously pushing the boundaries.

It was the year 2016, when John and his friends ventured into an audacious endeavour: making his award-winning homebrews accessible to the public. With unwavering determination, he made the bold decision to quit his corporate day job and wholeheartedly committed himself to this project. His mission was twofold: to challenge the status quo of Asia's beer scene while bringing Singaporean brews to the global market.

On the momentous date of March 14, 2017, Brewlander Brewing burst onto the craft beer scene in Singapore, eliciting enthusiastic responses from both the local beer community and the media. Brewlander was heralded as Singapore's first gypsy brewer!

Brewlander’s brewing process and beers

Brewlander’s passion for crafting exceptional beers extends to every aspect of the brewing process, starting with the careful selection of ingredients. The brewery chooses to work as close to the source of its ingredients to ensure their quality and freshness.

At Brewlander, compromising on the integrity of our brews is unheard of; no beer is ever rushed, filtered, or pasteurised. In fact, its beers are only released if they pass the strict standards set by the team.

Additionally, the brewery has top-notch equipment that allows it to effortlessly brew high-gravity/ABV beers. The brewery occasionally partners up with other local and regional breweries to create limited collaboration brews! Another unique feature of the brewery’s setup allows the team to steep any amount of hops at any temperature they desire, which lets them extract delicate hops aromas without the risk of over-bittering the beer.

One of Brewlander’s best beers is actually the Love Wild IPA, which is also their flagship brew. The bold and rare beer style is made with New World hops and fermented with a wild Saccharomyces yeast strain, resulting in a burst of tropical flavours, including pineapple, mango, and passionfruit.

Brewlander today and beyond

In 2020, Brewlander took a huge leap of faith and built a brewery during the lockdown period. It was extremely tough and the brewery faced a multitude of issues, such as importing equipment and lacking technical expertise. Thankfully, John had the support from his friends and a dedicated core team to realise his dream of having a fully automated brewery right here in Singapore.

Other than brewing great beers, Brewlander also hosts a craft beer festival, the Brewnanza Fest, which is an annual event that features local and regional breweries. So, if you’re looking for a beer-filled night with fascinating performances and yummy food, be sure to check it out!
