DRAFT dispatched freelance writer and photographer extraordinaire Gary Hayden to report on the inaugural Singapore Beer Festival. Okay fine, he was going anyway, but his photos tell the story of the first global Asian beer festival. Start making your plans to attend the next one; it’s only 352 days away.

The Archipelago Brewery was set up two years ago, and is named after Singapore’s first commercial brewery which dates back to 1931.

Indeed the Singapore Beer Festival was a well organised event. We were one of the exhibitors, offering our 100% pure draught beers from the Grand Ridge Brewery http://www.grand-ridge.com.au (The booth was operated by The Prince of Wales pub http://www.pow.com.sg whom import directly Grand Ridge beers in Singapore)
Sadly, the organisers did not re-imburse us the “coupons” we collected from customers. (The public purchased coupons at approximately S$10 each. The exhibitors would receive S$5 redemption per coupon). In summary, We will NOT be participating in the 2009 event.
