SINGAPORE — Good news for those who can’t wait to book their admission to this year’s Beerfest Asia. Yes, the region’s largest beer festival is retuning this June, but tickets will go on sale tomorrow (Jan 16).

The four-day event, to be held from June 16 to 19 at Marina Promenade, will once again feature arguably the largest selection of international beers, as well as a large number of new beers making their debut in Singapore.

That means visitors can look forward to sampling (or at least attempt to taste) more than 400 different kinds of commercial and craft beers and ciders (portions are priced at between S$1 and S$2 per serving).

Festival hours have also been adjusted with an earlier opening time of 3pm on Saturday, for those looking to get an early start.

And because this is not your typical beer festival, this year will again see a dedicated section featuring quality spirits.

This year, the festival’s Comedy Lounge takes on a dual role. Apart from hosting stand up comedians, on June 19, the area be turned into a recreational room for children aged three to 12. Dubbed The Brew Kids Playard, the play area will be feature an indoor bouncy castle, as well as arts and crafts activities to keep the children occupied.

This eighth edition of the festival will also boast its strongest line-up of international bands, which will include crowd favourite Killer Queen.

Early bird 1-Day passes are goig for S$20 (for Thursday and Sunday) and S$28 (for Friday and Saturday).

The 4-Day early bird Pass is priced at S$80. All tickets include one complimentary welcome beer that can be redeemed at the festival grounds.
