| Carlsberg Asia partners with Grab to launch exclusive dine-out deals with beer pairings curated by Zoran Gojkovic, Carlsberg's Brewmaster. |
Ever wondered which beer goes best with your favourite dishes? Whether you're digging into spicy Sichuan chicken, enjoying juicy grilled meats or treating yourself to a Japanese feast, the right beer might just make your meal even better!
Carlsberg Asia has teamed up with Grab to bring Brewmaster-curated beer and food pairings to 28 restaurants across Singapore, with exclusive Grab Dine Out deals available until 25 October 2026!
And we're not talking about simply ordering any beer to go with your food. These pairings have been specially curated by Carlsberg's Brewmaster, Zoran Gojkovic, to complement the flavours of each dish.
A Little Brewing Magic Behind Every Pairing
Carlsberg's Brewmaster, Zoran Gojkovic, has been travelling across Southeast Asia, meeting chefs and exploring local cuisines to discover how different beer styles can bring out the best in our favourite dishes.
From refreshing citrus notes that cut through rich, fatty meats to roasted malt flavours that complement smoky dishes, there's actually quite a bit of science behind a good pairing!
The campaign features five beers from Carlsberg's portfolio:
1664 Blanc: A refreshing wheat beer with bright citrus notes.
Connor's Stout Porter: Rich, velvety and full of roasted malt flavours.
Sapporo: A refined Japanese lager with a light, balanced finish.
Carlsberg Smooth Draught: Mellow, smooth and easy-drinking.
Carlsberg Danish Pilsner: A classic, well-balanced lager with crisp, hoppy notes.
Each has been matched with selected dishes to create a different dining experience.
Where to Try These Beer & Food Pairings in Singapore?
With 28 participating restaurants, there's plenty to explore! Here are three dining spots and their recommended pairings to get you started.
Empress: Chinese Classics with a Twist
If you love contemporary Chinese cuisine, Empress offers a beautiful dining setting overlooking the Singapore River.
Recommended pairings:
Empress Roast Duck + Connor's Stout Porter: The beer's roasted malt flavours complement the duck's smoky, beautifully lacquered skin.
Popcorn Chicken Spicy Sichuan Style + Carlsberg Danish Pilsner: The crisp, refreshing lager helps balance the chicken's rich, spicy flavours.
Who knew roast duck and stout could make such an interesting combination?
Kinki: Bold Japanese Flavours Meet Refreshing Brews
For something a little more lively, Kinki at Collyer Quay brings together Japanese fusion cuisine, bold flavours and a vibrant gastrobar atmosphere.
Recommended pairings:
Jeju Pork Jowl + 1664 Blanc: The beer's bright citrus notes help cut through the richness of the pork, leaving a refreshing finish.
Saikoro Pepper Steak + Sapporo: The light, balanced Japanese lager complements the steak's tender, savoury flavours without overpowering them.
Definitely an interesting way to explore Japanese fusion dishes beyond the usual sake pairing!
Fireplace by Bedrock: Smoky, Wood-Fired Goodness
Love the aroma of food cooked over an open flame? Fireplace by Bedrock is all about premium ingredients and bold, wood-fired flavours.
Recommended pairing:
6-Hour Wood-Fired Pork Belly + Carlsberg Smooth Draught: The pork belly's deep, smoky flavours are balanced by the beer's mellow, easy-drinking finish, helping refresh your palate between bites.
