Friends + Beer = Good Time

Recently, Beerfest Asia was here in Singapore. The tickets were going cheap (S$12 inclusive of handling fee) for OCBC card holders, so a bunch of us decided to go ahead. It was my first time, so was it for many of my friends. The ticket included 2 free beers.

It was a Sunday, apparently the last day of the event. They have shortened the starting time from 12 noon to 6pm, which wasn't very nice of them. They didn't even informed us till pretty late. But for the cheap price, what can we bargain for? Friday and Saturday would have been better as they were open till wee hours in the morning, but the advance tickets for OCBC card holders were sold out already on the first day (suspicious!).

I had a few groups of friends whom came at different timings. It was a shame everyone didn't get to talk much to everyone, but I had a fun time nevertheless since I know everyone ;) The free beers were a disappointment as we couldn't exchange it for most imported beers. Only locally brewed and the less popular ones, e.g. Tiger, Brewerkz (this is one of the better!), Archipelago, and some unknown names. We were also given no choice but to have one of the bottles named Super Bock given to us at admission, which tasted like Tiger... Ewww!

My sister and I ventured to the International Beer tent, where a lot of interestingly flavoured beers were but unfortunately many were sold out (being the last day!). Disappointing! I hope they have a quantity next time for each day so everyone gets a fair chance to try! Also, not to give us free crappy beer like Jaz. Haha. I'm not a sucker for free stuff if they are crap! We could buy the more popular beers at about S$10 each (I guess still not the cheapest, compared to beer in Europe!). p.s: I want to go Oktoberfest!!! Not that I'm very much a beer drinker but I think it would be fun attending!

Still, it was a nice first try. The ambience was great, and surrounding is beautiful. Situated right behind the Singapore Flyer, we also could watch live World Cup screening on the big projected screens or listen to the live band. There were food stalls but we didn't try, instead we went out to have Popeye instead! There were also F1 dummy cars on display for some photo-taking. The place was not overly crowded too.

My favourite of the night is a British cider named Green Goblin (the only cider I saw around!). And the most interesting has to be Taiwanese Honeydew melon beer one of my male friends was having and he loves it!
