Little Island Brewing

What Little Island Brewing does

Little Island Brewing Co. (LIBC) is a Singapore-based craft microbrewery, smokehouse and restaurant operator founded in 2015 by Managing Director Francis Khoo. The company runs three owned-and-operated venues across Singapore: the original 10,000 sqft, 400-seat Changi Village flagship housing the on-site microbrewery; the downtown South Beach outlet connected to Esplanade MRT; and the Gillman Barracks venue (opened December 2023) in a conserved colonial warehouse with vintage Altec Lansing sound. LIBC brews its beer in-house using traditional manual methods with no automation, dispensing from 20-30+ copper taps across locations, with signature beers Sister Golden Ale, Ye Ole Black Magic (five-time Asia Beer Awards winner), and Naked Lager complemented by seasonal releases such as the Dead Star Session IPA.

The food program centers on smokehouse classics including a 15-hour smoked wagyu beef brisket refined over 11 years, wood-fired Napolitano-style sourdough pizzas made with house-made kombucha starter, Sunday roasts, and limited-experiment items like charcoal sourdough pizzas. LIBC has invested in a 2026 brewhouse tank replacement and runs guided brewery tours at $50 per person as a new revenue line.

Revenue is generated through four streams: per-transaction food and beverage sales across the three outlets; private event venue hire (corporate packages from $30++ per pax); specialized wedding and solemnization packages (up to 450 guests, 30 self-pour taps) across wedding.libc.co; and brewery tours plus experiential events such as Waxy Wednesdays vinyl nights and live music programming. Customers include families with children, corporate groups, couples seeking alternative wedding venues, and craft beer enthusiasts, with distribution handled entirely through direct on-premise sales, online reservation (TableCheck), and dedicated event portals. The company is privately held and founder-controlled, with no disclosed external funding or parent company.
