APB Launches Archipelago Brewery Range of Beers in Singapore

The Archipelago Brewery (Archipelago) range of beers was launched in Singapore on 24 July 2006. Three variants of the Archipelago craft beers namely Traveller's Wheat, Straits Pale and Traders Brown Ale have been launched exclusively at Archipelago’s flagship outlet located at 79 Circular Road in Singapore.

Devoted to the art of brewing, Archipelago is set to grow the love for its signature craft beers which are uniquely Asian, amongst beer connoisseurs in Singapore. By the end of the third quarter this year, the three Archipelago beers will also be extended to the urban and premium pubs, dining establishments, hotels, country clubs, and major supermarkets. To titillate the palettes of consumers, Archipelago promises more limited-edition brews in the coming months.

The launch of Archipelago is consistent with APB’s objectives to add a new dimension to Singapore’s beer industry; and to continue to grow its presence and stature locally.


Archipelago Traveller's Wheat

Archipelago Traveller's WheatWorking in the tradition of Belgian craft brewing, the Brewmaster has introduced some uniquely Asian touches: the flavours of tamarind (Assam) and ginger, a hint of lemon grass and Chinese orange peel. This wheat beer is truly enjoyable, refreshing, and very easy to drink.

Archipelago Traveller's Wheat is enjoyed when paired with any food that is sour and spicy, especially those that contain Asian spices such as Assam, Orange, Ginger, Coriander and Lemongrass. Some examples include Assam Fish, Thai Vermicelli Salad or Thai Mussels.


Archipelago Straits Pale

Archipelago Straits PaleA real thirst quencher, this crisp, clean and satisfying ale is perfect for the tropical weather in Singapore. The Brewmaster chose imported American hops for a snappy citrusy flavour that is cool, and refreshing. A beer with smooth round body that is enjoyable anytime.

Archipelago Straits Pale perfectly complements curried dishes such as Thai Green Curry, Indian curries, Tandooris and Rendangs.


Archipelago Traders Brown Ale

Archipelago Traders Brown AleA very special Ale, the Brewmaster blended specially selected malts, hops, herbs and a touch of Gula Melaka to create a beer that is creamy, smooth, and completely enjoyable. Satisfying to the last drop.

Archipelago Traders Brown Ale is best paired with roasted meats or food cooked in sweet brown sauce, such as Suckling Pig, Roasted Squid, Peking Duck, Satay and Rice Dumplings (Bak Zhang).
