Bros I used to buy this at cold storage - the sugar free type but I’ve not been able to find any recently can anyone direct me to a place with it, especially the west? Thanks 🙏

After impossible burger, impossible meat, eggless egg and such, now come coffee bean-less coffee. Is this necessary in the name of food security and sustainability? Let me own up: I dislike all these lab created food products although I had never tried any of them till date. What is your take? Source: https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/dining/prefer-bean-free-coffee-alternative-381681 Founders Jake Berber, a former neuroscientist, and Tan Ding Jie, a food scientist, said they embarked on the project because coffee farmland is diminishing and climate change threatens to erase 50 per cent of coffee by 2050. According to them, coffee also has a big carbon footprint as 1kg of coffee requires as much as 29kg of carbon dioxide. Berber and Tan believe they are the first in Asia to have launched bean-free coffee. While other bean-free coffee producers in the world use ingredients like chickpeas, rice hulls and seeds to make their product, Prefer’s founders wanted to upcycle food waste products found locally, in line with the whole point of bean-free coffee, which is sustainability, Tan told us. To that end, they use soya pulp discard from local soya milk chain Mr Bean, day-old bread from Gardenia bakery and spent grains that are a byproduct of beer-making from local breweries. These are fermented, then roasted, and finally ground up. Consumers and partnering cafes receive the product in a form that looks like ground coffee and can be extracted using the usual methods. The point was for baristas to have to deviate as little as possible from their procedure, Tan said. So, what’s the verdict? Well, it works quite nicely when mixed into a medium, like in the Prefer Iced Yuzu Espresso Soda served at Dough cafe. And when it’s served as an oat milk latte, for example, it lends a depth of malted flavour bordering on umami. A hoppy, even slightly savoury taste is discernible to varying degrees, depending on what it’s blended with. But if I were you, I wouldn’t try it as an espresso shot. It’s not ready to be drunk black yet, Tan opined. Does it look like coffee? Yes. Does it smell like coffee? Not far off. Does it taste exactly like coffee as we know it? Not so much. But does it give you the feeling of nursing a cuppa at a cafe while revelling in the smug satisfaction that you’re helping to save the whales? Absolutely.

https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/whats-viral/newbrew-singapore-launches-beer-made-with-sewage-and-urine-in-bid-to-conserve-water-articleshow.html 'Every drop matters' | NEWbrew: Singapore Launches Beer Made With Sewage And Urine In Bid To Conserve Water Turning urine into beer in Singapore: NewBrew is made out of a liquid which is recycled from sewage, filtered, and pumped into Singapore's water supply. Last Updated: 29th May, 2022 13:40 IST A brewery in Singapore is turning urine and sewage into alcoholic beverages in an attempt to be environmentally friendly. Taking the brewing experience to a whole new level, the beer is named NEWBrew, which is created with NEWater, Singapore's model of fresh, high-quality recycled water takes the brewery to a whole new level. As per reports by BBC, it is made of a liquid that is recycled from sewage, filtered, and pumped into Singapore’s water supply. The drink is launched by Singapore’s nationwide water company PUB in affiliation with native craft beer brewery Brewerkz. According to Strait Times, the distinctive beverage “highlights not only that Singapore’s recycled water more than adheres to international standards of safe drinking water, but that it is also clean enough to be used in beer brewing." "Meanwhile, Brewerkz states that it is a “highly quaffable beer," which is perfectly suitable for Singapore’s tropical climate, “with a smooth, toasted honey-like aftertaste.” Also, 95 per cent of the tropical blonde ale beer is made out of NEWater. It is done using “the finest ingredients, such as premium German barley malts, aromatic Citra and Calypso hops, as well as kveik, a highly-sought-after strain of farm-house yeast from Norway.” 'Sustainable and delicious' While the inventors of the one-of-a-kind brew claim that the beer proves that "sustainable can be delicious," social media users aren't convinced. People who tried the beer without knowing what it was comprised of had nothing but positive reactions after the initial surprise. With the motto "every drop matters," Singapore's national water authority has been recycling sewage to turn it into potable water for years. The initiative, which aims to be sustainable, is a way to combat water scarcity during the dry season. After the news of this newly brewed beer went viral, netizens had a lot to say. The reactions coming out have been hilarious. While few are sharing memes, others are just shocked. One of the users tweeted, “And here I thought the onion beer a friend of mine brewed was weird.” Another user tweeted, “Turning urine into beer in Singapore: NewBrew is made out of a liquid which is recycled from sewage, filtered, and pumped into Singapore's water supply.”

Erm. Did anyone try this before? I always got NEWater free during NDP? Is NEWater beer free?

I was surprised they are leaving. Every time return from travel will always get some beer and wine.

CARLSBERG UNVEILS ‘WORLD’S FIRST’ PAPER BEER BOTTLE https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2019/10/carlsberg-unveils-worlds-first-paper-beer-bottle/ Danish beer giant Carlsberg has unveiled designs for what it claims is the world’s first paper beer bottle made with sustainable and recyclable wood fibres. The bottle forms part of Carlsberg’s Together Towards Zero initiative, which includes a commitment to reach zero carbon emissions and a 30% reduction in its “full-value-chain carbon footprint” by 2030. The brewer has revealed two prototypes for its green fibre bottle. Both are made from sustainably sourced wood fibres and have an “inner barrier” allowing the bottle to hold beer. One uses a thin recycled PET polymer film barrier, while the other has a bio-based PEF polymer film barrier. Carlsberg initially launched plans for the project back in 2015, working alongside EcoXpac, BillerudKorsnäs and post-doctoral researchers from the Technical University of Denmark. This collaboration has resulted in the creation of paper bottle company Paboco, a joint venture between BillerudKorsnäs and bottle manufacturing specialist ALPLA. Companies also working with Paboco include Absolut, Coca-Cola and L’Oréal. Last year, Carlsberg invested in a number of other sustainable solutions, including recycled shrink film, greener label ink and Snap Pack, which replaces the plastic packaging around its six-pack cans. Myriam Shingleton, vice president group development at Carlsberg Group, said: “We continue to innovate across all our packaging formats, and we are pleased with the progress we’ve made on the Green Fibre Bottle so far. While we are not completely there yet, the two prototypes are an important step towards realising our ultimate ambition of bringing this breakthrough to market. Innovation takes time and we will continue to collaborate with leading experts in order to overcome remaining technical challenges, just as we did with our plastic-reducing Snap Pack.” “The work with our partners since 2015 on the Green Fibre Bottle illustrates that this kind of innovation can happen when we work together. We’re delighted that other like-minded companies have now joined us as part of Paboco’s paper bottle community. Partnerships such as these, ones that are united by a desire to create sustainable innovations, are the best way to bring about real change.” It follows news that Scottish lager brand Tennent’s has invested £14.2 million in sustainable initiatives including scrapping plastic packaging, using green energy and implementing waste management practices. From Spring 2020, cans of Tennent’s lager will be packaged in cardboard rather than plastic, with plastic rings and shrink-wrap phased out. This will result in 150 tonnes less plastic produced per year. Tennent’s has become the first brewer to join The UK Plastics Pact, which intends to ban single-use plastic used in packaging by 2021.

HAPPY HOUR MUG SHOTS! Shuffle Bar @ Clarke Quay.

Hi everyone, per topic, was at Stuttgart for a holiday. Per title, will be sharing some of my experiences during the trip. All photos were taken with my iPhone camera, so I do apologise if the quality is not up to standard. Nothing eventful on the first day, arrived at Frankfurt and took a train down to the main station of Stuttgart, approx. 1hr 20min. For those who are unfamiliar, look out for the 'Long distance trains' sign at the airport, which will bring you to the platform, which looks something like this Reached Stuttgart main station, rather old building, constructed in the early 1910s till early 1930s I believe. the entrance to the ticket hall headed to my airbnb apartment thereafter, theres a vantage point nearby where you can get quite a nice view of the city center will update the rest as soon as I can, cheers

hi all, i actually think that Singha beer is a really good imported beer... the taste and alcohol content is different from when i drank it years ago in Thailand... Lately there are many Singha beer promotions around and i saw them at the beer feast also... my female friends tell me there's a slighty sweet after taste but unlike hoegarden... i find it a slight flowery actually... and there was this guy who told me that Singha Beer is actually good when you take spicy food as it will neturalise the chili effect in your mouth... wonder if this is true? Any Singha Beer drinkers here?

Please share any beer sales and/or promotions! $2 Budweiser can 355ml at Giant Supermarket. Promo ends on 2nd Nov.

5 Places Where Drinks Are So Cheap, It’s a ProblemBy Ryan Ong in Frugal Living | Dec 3, 2013 5 Comments Life in Singapore is stressful, so there’s many occasions when I need to get plastered, even on a tight budget (e.g. stressful deadlines, impossible clients, days ending in the letter “y”). If you’re the same, keep an eye out for the places on this list. The money you save might even cover treatments for your cirrhosis: BONUS: Cheapass Tip for MoneySmart ReadersI’ve mentioned this in another article, but I’ll explain it again here. There is a possible way to get free drinks if your friends get sloshed enough, and your moral compass is more broken than your liver. Invite a group of friends out to drink with you – the more the better. Try to make it at least six people. Once the venue is agreed upon, be sure to arrive about 40 minutes late. By then, most people would have ordered a few bottles, a whole beer tower, etc. You can probably leech off the drinks already ordered, without calling for any yourself. If everyone’s sloshed enough at the end of the night, chances are good that no one will notice. For other money saving tips, you can always stay tuned with us on Facebook. 1. Five Izakaya Five Izakaya is modeled after Japan’s 300 Yen bars, which are basically just alcohol dispensers with walls. The “five” in Five Izakaya refers to the price of the drinks – you know how everything in Daiso is $2? Same concept here. Virtually every drink in this bar is $5. There are no gimmicks and no happy hours. It’s Asahi, Shochu, Choya, and various types of wine all going at $5 in the bar – anytime you walk in. Even the snacks are $5, probably because you can’t handle a more complex bill by the time you’re done. One problem though (at the Collyer Quay Outlet, I can’t speak for the others) is the food. It’s wildly inconsistent, and on some days the chicken tastes like pure mouthfuls of salt. But on most days the food is passable (And frankly, complaining about the food in a $5 bar is like complaining about the music in an elevator). There are three outlets, as described below. Pros - $5 Drinks, no specific happy hour Cons - Food can be inconsistent. Where and When: 16 Collyer Quay, #01-05B / Tel. 6536 8955 / Open from 12pm – midnight on Mon. to Fri. Open from 6pm – midnight on Sat. Closed on Sun. and Public Holidays. 5 Changi Business Park Central 1, Changi City Point, #01-66/67 / 6604 8255 / Open daily from 12 pm to midnight 25 Cuppage Road, Cuppage Terrace / Tel. 6733 8097 / Opens daily from 5pm to midnight 2. Insomnia Bar & RestaurantLet me get this out of the way: I hate a lot of the clientele at Insomnia. Many of them are younger than me, which is depressing and therefore a personality flaw on their part (send rational retorts to [email protected]). My point is, the crowd can feel a bit youngish if you’re in the 35 to 40+ age range. The music and ambiance seem catered to the young-bloods too, so the dance floor and conversation may not be too attractive. That said, the booze is free flow. From 9pm to 11pm on Wednesdays, $20 will get you all-you-can-drink from the bar. And right up till 31st December 2013, you also get 40% off standard drinks via the CHIJMES promotion. Overall, if you want to drink on a Wednesday and you know you’ll be downing a lot more than $20 worth, come to this bar. Pros – All you can drink for $20. Until 31st December 2013, 40% off standard drinks. Cons - If you’re over 35, you’ll get the odd feeling that you just gatecrashed a 16 year old’s birthday party. Where and When: #01-21 CHIJMES, 30 Victoria Street / Tel. 6338 6883 / Open from 11 am to 4 am on Sun. to Tues. Open from 11am to 5 am from Wed. to Sat. 3. Tanuki RawThis place is as much about food as it is about drinks. And as the name implies, Tanuki Raw is about raw foods – in particular oysters. During Happy Hour (5pm to 8pm), this place serves up $10 Martinis. Every martini you buy lets you purchase up to a half dozen oysters at $2 each, and a plate of salmon sashimi at $5. So two martinis means you can buy 12 oysters and two sashimi plates, and three means you can buy 18 oysters and three sashimi plates, etc. (If you actually intend to down 18+ oysters with alcohol in one sitting, read this article first) This is one of my default hangouts, so trust me when I tell you (1) the drinks are insanely strong, (2) the Steak Tartare is amazing, and (3) Dennis is an awesome musician – I think he plays on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Pros - Extremely strong drinks at $10 a pop, cheap oysters, good live musician Cons - Not as affordable when it’s not happy hour, don’t get to pick the type of oysters Where and When: 181 Orchard Road, #02-03 Orchard Central / Tel. 6646 5949, does not take reservations / Open 11.30am to 10.30pm daily 4. Standing Sushi Bar This lovely arrangement isn’t going to matter after you get hammered. Standing Sushi Bar has two outlets in Singapore, each running different promotions. They’re also the parent company of Tanuki Raw. Do note that I’ve only visited the one at 8 Queen Street. The place at Queen Street comes close to Five Izakaya’s promotion: you can get $5 beers, wines, umeshu, etc. on certain days. This is paired with the chance to buy $3 sashimi plates. I’m told Standing Sushi Bar is related to Tanuki Raw, and their highly similar, cross-selling promotions also suggests it. The promotions are based on day of the week, as follows: Monday – $5 beer, wine, hot sake and umeshu, $2 sake, $3 Sashimi plate Tuesday - 50% off house pour and assorted foods Wednesday - 50% off house pour and assorted foods Thursday - Same as Monday A quick note: When it’s busy, the place sounds like a percussion section fighting a lion dance troupe. It’s noisy as hell is what I’m saying, so you won’t be drinking in peace – if that bothers you. At the Marina Bay Link Mall, happy hour is from 5pm to 8.45pm. You get $10 martinis, and $5 beers and sake. There’s also a range of $5 foods to pick from. Pros - Affordable drinks and dinner rolled into one Cons - At the Queen Street outlet, can get too noisy if you’re trying to conduct business or drown your sorrows. Where and When: 8 Queen Street, #01-03 Singapore Art Museum / Tel. 6333 1335 / Open daily from 12 pm to 2.30pm, and 6pm to 10pm. 8 A Marina Boulevard, B2-51 Marina Bay Link Mall / Tel. 6334 7038 / Open Mon. to Fri. from 11.30 am to 9pm, open on Sat. from 11.30am to 6 pm, closed on Sun. and public holidays 5. Working Title That’s not a typo in my header. Working Title is a cafe-bar on Arab Street, which adjoins – nay, is attached to – a hostel. The place has kind of a hipster vibe, but if you’re not allergic to that it’s a quiet place to talk and drink. The big star here isn’t the ambiance anyway, but the range of exotic booze at good prices. Chocolate beers, fruit beers, various unpronounceable craft or foreign beers, etc. line the racks at prices as low as $8. That’s great because (1) experimentation is always entertaining, and (2) it’s a fairly low price without anything being on promotion. You don’t have to accept bad house pours, or whatever the bartender squeezes out of his rag into your mug, just to get a good discount. Overall, Working Title is not the cheapest place on this list. But if you want affordable + different, duck in here for a taste. Pros – Exotic and unusual drinks, for low prices Cons - Food is not cheap, some of the clientele may listen to Skrillex Where and When: 48 Arab Street / Tel. 9734 4187 / Open from 9am to 10pm on Sun. to Thu. Open from 9am to midnight on Fri. and Sat.
