About this episode
The episode discusses the rise of local breweries in Singapore amidst the departure of big beer manufacturers, featuring an interview with Nick Calder-Scholes.
As big beer manufacturers quietly leave Singapore, a new generation of entrepreneurs is betting on something radically local. At Sentosa, five towering tanks filled with freshly brewed beer challenge the assumption that production no longer belongs here. Michelle speaks with Nick Calder-Scholes, Head Brewer of People People Brewing Co, named Australian Brewer of the Year, about craft, community, and why freshness may be the ultimate luxury in a globalised world. Beyond beer, this is a conversation about place, identity, craftsmanship and whether locally made food and beverages still have a future in Singapore's hospitality landscape.
