About Beerfest Asia 2015

 

b2ap3_thumbnail_image05_20150603-083724_1.jpgSince the dawn of civilization humans have been drinking beer. It was once the drink of farmers but fast forward to today, it’s a drink that powers us through a party, or works as a calming elixir for a relaxing evening.

Beerfest Asia is an annual festival that will be held in Singapore from 25-28th June 2015 at the Marina Promenade. It will bring together breweries from all around the world to celebrate everything beer-related. Beerfest Asia is more than just beer though – there’s tons of fun to be had.

Here are 10 reasons you should visit Beerfest Asia 2015.

 

1. You’ll never see so many beers in your life

With 400 different beers and ciders from all around the world for you to choose from, you’ll be singing from tabletops before the festival doors close. Whether you like beers from Belgium, France, America, or different parts of Asia, you’ll find something to suit your tastes here.

 

2. The best comedians will be here

They’ll have you in stitches with their comedic stylings. Keep an eye out for Singapore’s representatives Jinx Yeo and Fakkah Fuzz – they’ll have you wondering why you’ve never watched local standup comedy before.

 

3. There will be live rock and roll

Join the mosh pit, or trade information about your favourite brews – you might find a new group to to join for after work drinks. 

 

8. Be the first to taste brand new brews

Take a sip of Iron Trooper Maiden, a brew developed by Bruce Dickinson, the front man of Iron Maiden. Or if you prefer a lighter touch, try the ABK Rose, which is a beer crossed with lemonade for a crisp and light taste. 

There are also three beers new to Beerfest Asia including the Takayama Dark Ale, which is only available at Beerfest Asia. It has a lusciously creamy mouthfeel which lends it supreme drinkability, making it a delight for fans of Dark Ales. Each customer will only be limited to one bottle of it!

 

9. Drink outdoors after 10.30pm!

10. Casual drinkers can have a taste too
