Ronan Keilthy has made quite a name for himself in recent years – despite being just 22-years-old. He works for Proof & Company, the company behind some of Singapore’s (and the world’s) best bars. He tends bar at 28 HongKong Street – considered ground zero for Singapore’s craft renaissance. But what put him a world stage this year was the Clairin World Championship title belt! We’re talking about Clairin and how exactly he’s always desired to work in hospitality. He’s at the forefront of the cocktail scene in Asia. Next stop… the world.

SIDE NOTE: Since this episode was recorded, everyone’s favorite cocktail guide, Moses Koh, launched his Singapore Bar Event Calendar. So much is happening there that it’s hard to keep up. And that’s why the world gave us Moses. Check out the calendar and Moses’ social media accounts to keep up with the scene.
