Personally, we’re more excited about this than the Singapore GP – four days, 290 kinds of beer? Yes, please. Part-trade show, part-Oktoberfest, this inaugural event at Fort Canning Park will attract beer vendors from around the world, including 24 German brands making their Asian debut, plus the makers of popular craft beers like New York’s Brooklyn Brewery and Tripel Karmeliet, a citrusy Belgian brew that’s eight per cent alcohol. Yowza. The new MC from stand-up comedy club Howl at the Moon will perform, as well as Irish alt-rockers Ash (2 October) and local bands EIC and Reverie, among others.

Tickets cost $30 on Thursday and Friday and $40 on Saturday and Sunday. Buy tokens to sample beers once inside. Ticket packages for $85 or $95 include entry fee and 10 tokens.
