Cold, fizzy, and intensely refreshing – few things come close to the feeling of cracking open a cold one in the middle of a sweltering day, or at the end of a long one. If beer is your choice of liquid happiness, we’ve got good news for you.
Beerfest Asia is back, and it’s bigger and better than ever. Happening from 30th August – 2nd September 2018, the Beerfest Asia 2018 X Edition brings you an epic 4-day festival to celebrate all things beer with live performances, a beer run, and a whole lot of fringe activities for the entire family.
Here’s a rundown of some of the highlights to add to your festival game plan:
Try locally brewed beers from The 1925 Brewing Co.
Go beyond your usual “safe bet” order and treat your palate to a whole new world of hops and suds. From Germany and Lithuania to Korea and India, take your beer appreciation global with over 600 varieties of local and international brews available for your tasting pleasure.

Where there’s beer, there’s bound to be music and bar food. Kick back to the beat of rock classics with tribute bands from the likes of Killer Queen (Queen), The Achtung Baby (U2) and Viva Coldplay (Coldplay) alongside over 30 up and coming local bands, DJ acts and stand-up comedians.
To add on to their 4 tents of booze and music, you’ll also find a mishmash of your favourite bar games such as e-darts, futuristic beer pong and more.

Food-wise, you can find everything from Char’s slow-roasted pork belly and mentaiko quail eggs to Jap skewers from Shiso and local favourites from No Signboard. You’ll even find delicate bites of uni served up by Uni Gallery.
