As a dynamic hub that reflects the spirit and diversity of the local community, Bedok Mall is truly more than just a shopping haven in the heart of the vibrant Bedok neighbourhood – it’s a lifestyle.

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!

Breadfirst Everyday

Go carbo-loading at Breadfirst Everyday, which is known for their generous servings of delectable brunch choices and delicious rosti. Tucked in a hidden corner at the Mee Sek Food Court, Breadfirst Everyday opened its doors in July 2022 and has since been attracting more patrons who enjoy cheap, all-day brunch food. 

Make sure to try their Rosti Platter served with salad, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, and sour cream. Love waffles? Their Chicken Cutlet on Waffles shouldn’t be missed. Milky and buttery, it complements the scrambled eggs and sausage to perfection.
