THIS CHESTNUT HONEY BEAUTY
16 Mar 2015 By Xin Hui Helder-Eng
Atop the world’s highest urban craft-brewery, we peel Gabriel Garcia, BrewMaster at LeVeL33, away from his brew house kettles and get him to describe their latest craft beer, a Chestnut-Honey Beauty.
On this gorgeous day, we are at LeVeL33.
We liken sitting atop the World’s Highest Urban Craft-brewery, overlooking Singapore’s Marina Bay and city skyline, to being in a corporate urban penthouse, with copper brew house kettles as playmates.
Freshly brewed beer flows from its taps, straight to the lips of the upmarket beer-drinking community – which we have successfully infiltrated – by wearing cufflinks and stilettos, and chewing with our mouths closed.
There are the usual favourite companions we order, like the 33.1 Blond Lager, 33.15 India Pale Ale, 33.3 Stout, 33.4 House Porter and 33.9 Wheat Beer
But on this fine day, only one chestnut beauty is getting our attention as LeVeL33 unveils, its brand new, freshly brewed: The 33.17 Tuscan Chestnut Lager.
Brewed exclusively with Acqua Panna Natural Mineral Water – yes, very fancy-schmancy – and specially sourced ingredients such as Italian Organic Acacia Honey and Italian Chestnuts. “It is medium-bodied with smokey after-tones of roasted chestnuts – and… if you pay attention… a soft touch of honey.” Gabriel Garcia, BrewMaster, LeVeL33.
