Tap runs dry for Singapore craft beer distributors, breweries as they get sidelined in new Covid-19 support measures
Claudia Tan HS
LOCAL craft beer distributors and breweries are reeling from the impact of Singapore's third dine-out ban as they continue to be sidelined by government support measures.
The government had on Friday rolled out a S$1.1 billion support package for workers and struggling businesses in the food and beverage (F&B), retail and other targeted sectors.
The new measures were, however, not applicable to most beer distributors and breweries given that they are not considered F&B players under the Singapore Standard Industrial Classification code.
