Highlights

Japan HopFest - SJ60 Edition


From the organisers of Sake Matsuri comes Japan HopFest, a premier showcase of the best craft beer in Singapore. For this special SJ60 Edition, Singapore's own craft breweries pour side by side with Japan's finest for the very first time. Expect rare direct-from-Japan microbrews you won't find in local bottle shops, from Uchu's tropical ""juice bomb"" Hazy IPAs and West Coast Brewing's crisp, hop-forward IPAs to Totopia's bold sours and OatCream IPAs, Vertere's elegant mountain-brewed ales and award-winning beers from Isekado, one of Japan's most decorated craft breweries. Some brewery founders and head brewers will be on site to share the stories behind their labels. Beers are served in 330ml pours using festival tokens, so you can explore everything from crisp lagers to hazy IPAs, sours and stouts at your own pace. With beer-friendly food vendors, live DJs and a buzzing festival atmosphere, it is a two-day celebration for seasoned enthusiasts and first-time explorers alike.

It was a good, simple event with easy check-in and accompanying free drinks for redemption. I love that it wasn't overcrowded and people could get seats easily to taste their drinks.

Beers selection were great. Would be nice to also offer taster sets, better for newbies like me to try the different beers. Live band will also be exciting next time.
