The Hong Leong Group Sports & Recreation Club (HLGSRC), in partnership with Tower Club, conducted a craft beer pairing session on 15 April 2023.

The presenter, from Archipelago Brewery, shared some fun facts about beer and beer brewing, and expounded on the taste and flavour of the beers that were on the tasting menu.

Members were treated to five different flavours of beer, paired with delectable tapas:

• Belgian Witbier with Stuffed Baked Oyster with Shrimp, Octopus and Monteux Jack Cheese
• Summer IPA with Grilled Smoked Chorizo with Rye Bread and Pickle Cucumber and Olives
• Bohemian Lager with Szechuan Style Pork Dumpling with Spicy Chilli Oil
• Tropical Pale Ale with Braised Australian Lamb Shank with Curry Pie Tee Cup
• Singapore Blonde Ale with BBQ pull Beef Short Ribs with Cheese Sauce Slider

Participants could also choose to purchase a cooler bag with four bottles of mixed Craft Beer (Summer IPA, Bohemian Larger, Tropical Pale Ale and Singapore Blonde Ale) as a keepsake from the event.

Good conversations, tasty food and refreshing beer – altogether a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
