And guess what? They’re turning up the excitement for Easties with Brews & Beats 2023 – the first-ever beer festival in Bedok Mall! From 16 to 24 October 2023, watch as the Basement 2 Atrium transforms into party central with an awesome lineup of live musical performances, refreshing craft beers, and mouthwatering snacks that guarantee a great time for everyone.
But what can you expect from this nine-day extravaganza?
Archipelago Brewery
First, make your way to Archipelago Brewery, Singapore’s first commercial brewery that made its way into the Red Dot in 1931. Boasting a meticulously crafted line of beers that has a wide selection of flavours, Archipelago Brewery has become a favourite for both casual drinkers and beer enthusiasts alike.
Their signature beers include the Singapore Blonde Ale, a superstar-in-a-bottle which puts a cool twist on a Singaporean classic with the refreshing addition of calamansi lime and pandan leaves.
Another crowd favourite is the Tropical Pale Ale, a delicious blend of citrus and passionfruit flavours that is inspired by the sun, sea, and Singapore. Have a sip of the island life with a twist of aromatic delight.
If you want something different, the limited edition Hefe Beer is a good choice!
