From 8 to 10 September 2017, Clarke Quay’s iconic Fountain Square will play host to the much-awaited beer extravaganza, where you’ll be able to hop around the river side’s best bars and sample several hundred craft beers and ciders to your belly’s content!
Boasting an extensive range from international stalwarts and up and coming breweries in Singapore, begin the evening at Hooters, where you can enjoy bottles of Archipelago Brewery’s new range of beers, such as the Ah Ka Ji Lager and full-bodied Tok Kong IPA, at $9 each (or $40 for five bottles).
If you have a yearning for Hooter’s signature wings like us, get a plate of seven for only $10, with 10 delicious flavours to choose from. Once you’ve whet your appetite, head over to McGettigans for some beers by New South Wales-based Stockade Brew Co, going at a special price of $10 a bottle. Try the characterful Chop Shop Pale Ale, and The Sesh Golden Session Ale, alongside some of the restaurant’s delicious bar grub.
And don’t worry about going hungry – some of the best restaurants at Clarke Quay eateries will be offering special food promotions as part of the festival.
If you’re after Asian food and dark beers, VLV is offering scrumptious calamari wings and crispy carrot cake with the Collesi Imper Ale Bionda Triplo Malto (a Belgian Strong Ale produced in Italy) or the sweet stout Collesi Imper Ale Nera Maior for just $30++. Alternatively, stout lovers will also find the classic dry O’Hara’s Irish Stout ($10) at Beer Xchange alongside a selection of pastas and pizzas going for $10.
The hustle and bustle of the festival will be complemented by a host of local musicians and DJs, as well as local and international comedians performing at selected outlets throughout the weekend, ensuring that you and your friends get to enjoy groovy tunes together with some side-splitting comedic acts. Family activities, such as face painting, sea shell painting, and clay art, will also be held for adults and children; ideal for those who choose to bring their little ones along!
