If you love cafe brunch just as much as you love knocking back a pint or 2 of stout, we’ve got the perfect weekend plan for you. Beloved cafe, Chye Seng Huat Hardware, has a limited-time collab with Connor’s Stout Porter, an English-style nitrogenated stout porter made from a blend of lager malt, caramel malt, brown malt, and roasted barley.
Image adapted from: Rachel Wong
The collab sees 3 exclusive creations on the menu, spanning sweet and savoury. You’ve got The Stout Stack ($30), in which a Wagyu beef burger is sandwiched with slow-caramelised onions infused with Connor’s Stout Porter, among other toppings like fresh veggies and a sunny-side-up egg.
The Connor’s Grill ($12) stars smoky grilled chicken skewers, elevated by a creamy mayo infused with Connor’s Stout. And for a dessert that’ll also give you a boozy caffeine kick, try The Connor’s Affogato ($9.20), where vanilla ice cream is accompanied by fresh espresso as well as good ol’ Connor’s Stout Porter.

Good food aside, there’ll also be merch available for sale, and freebies you can score. Purchase 2 pints of Connor’s in a single receipt to redeem a sure-win spin at the Connor’s gachapon, with exclusive merch up for grabs. And bring home something to remember the weekend by, with a complimentary photo strip at the on-site photo machine.
