Perched high above Singapore’s Marina Bay, LeVeL33 has earned the title of the world’s highest urban microbrewery, blending craft beer innovation with sweeping city views.

Enjoying a frosty mug of cold beer on a hot day is one of life’s simple pleasures. Doing so while overlooking one of the great city skylines from the world’s highest urban microbrewery? That’s next-level. And this very experience is now available in – where else? – Singapore.

As reported by CNN Travel, LeVeL33, located atop the Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower (not to be confused with Marina Bay Sands), has officially claimed the title of the World’s Highest Microbrewery in a Building, as recognized by Guinness World Records.

The announcement, made on March 12 via the brewery’s social media channels, was met with pride by founder Martin Bem.

“Growing up, my friends and I would read the Guinness Book of World Records with interest and awe,” Bem shared with CNN Travel. “To now be part of that legacy is an amazing feeling and a great validation of our team’s hard work over the past 15 years.”

Opened in 2010, LeVeL33 was an ambitious project from the start. Located 33 floors above the thrumming streets of Singapore’s financial district, the brewery had to overcome some significant logistical challenges to bring European brewing equipment into the space. With the building’s lifts unable to accommodate the massive machinery – including 12 tanks, two copper brewhouse kettles, and a cooling machine – the team resorted to using a crane to hoist the equipment to the top floor.

Bem described the achievement as not only a win for LeVeL33 but also a reflection of Singapore’s spirit of innovation (and determination). “We see this as an opportunity to showcase the Singapore story of odds-defying creativity,” he said.

The brewery’s unique location offers patrons panoramic views of Marina Bay Sands, the futuristic ArtScience Museum, and the towering Singapore Flyer. Unsurprisingly, sunset is prime time, with both beer lovers (hooray!) and Instagrammers (booo!) flocking to capture the golden hour glow over the beautiful cityscape.

LeVeL33’s beer menu naturally includes familiar favourites like IPAs and stouts, but one standout is the Brut Beer, crafted in collaboration with French Champagne house Barons de Rothschild. Available exclusively on-site, it’s a fittingly luxurious brew for such an elevated setting.

In celebration of the Guinness World Record title, LeVeL33’s signature Blond Lager will now bear the official Guinness World Records logo on its label – a not-so-subtle nod to the brewery’s sky-high achievement.
