Perhaps the only thing more exciting than the return of Singapore’s
most anticipated beer event is the news that it will no longer be
held at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre. Last year’s godforsaken venue
did beer lovers everywhere no favors, 500 beers available or not.
The 2018 edition, thankfully, has chosen a new venue: The Meadow at
Gardens by the Bay, conveniently located across Bayfront MRT
station.
In
less petty news, Beerfest
Asia 2018 also happens to be the festival’s 10th
anniversary, happening Aug 30-Sep 2.
As such, expect a supersized edition, with the bigger venue and an
even larger range of local and international beers; over 600, up
from last year's 500. To celebrate the decade, Beerfest Asia will
also be working with 10 breweries around the world to create 10
custom, limited-edition Birthday Beers that will only be available
at the Beerfest Asia 2018 X Edition.
On
top of that, look forward to five tents of live music performances
and DJ acts, as well as a sizeable selection of food options
ranging from German bar bites to local delights. For hopheads who
take their beer very seriously, you can catch the Asia Beer Awards
or attend a free beer workshop, conducted by brewers and beer brand
ambassadors. Tickets are already on sale from $20 (inclusive of one
redeemable Welcome Beer from the list of Birthday Beers and regular
beers) here.
So
go forth and drink, and this year feel free to take the public
transport home.
