September 11th – 13th; Singapore’s BeerFest Asia at the Beach will be re-launching the BeerFest Asia brand. As a re-launch of the brand, they are looking to make a fun festival for beer lovers and non-drinkers as well. We at the BKBG are big fans of events and festivals that give local breweries to show off what they have, so this seems like a great start to something to grow bigger.
– Some friends with BeerFest Asia reached out to the BKBG and asked to help promote the event, a chance to visit and talk to some of the local brewers, which we hope to do.
Beers at BeerFest
As with any BeerFest, there’s got to be a big brand everyone knows, and for a Singapore-based event, Tiger is a solid choice.
- official big beer is Tiger;
- official craft beer is People People Brewing Co.
- Official No/Lo (Non-Alcoholic) Beer: Heineken 0.0
“Alongside over 180 beers from China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Estonia, Germany, France,
Scandinavia and elsewhere,…”
Some featured brews on the BeerFest Asia Website:
