Singapore’s premier craft beer festival capped the weekend for its most ambitious outing yet. Held from 29 to 31 August 2025 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre the space was transformed into a massive beer and bites playground as Brewnanza Fest by Brewlander returned for its highly anticipated third edition. Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, the festival celebrated the best of craft culture with an unmatched line-up of breweries, food vendors, and live entertainment.
After selling out in 2024, expectations are higher than ever—and Brewnanza Fest 2025 delivered. Over 100 exclusive and distinctive brews was on tap, spanning juicy IPAs, velvety stouts, tart fruited sours, and refreshingly crisp lagers. Festival host and hometown hero Brewlander will debuted an exclusive festival-only brew, while Singapore stalwarts like Lion Brewery Co., Alive Brewing, and Ren Min showcased the creativity shaping the city’s craft beer scene.
This year also marked the exciting debut of the Brewers Association (USA), bringing with it 16 renowned American breweries. Highlights include the complexity-driven Fremont Brewing and the highly coveted Side Project, whose rare barrel-aged wild ales are among the most sought-after globally. The international roster expands further with the UK’s Verdant Brewing Co., Finland’s experimental Revenant Brewing Project, Japan’s rising West Coast Brewing, and Thailand’s cult name Samata.
Returning favourites kept long-time fans happy—Germany’s Sudden Death Brewing and Australia’s Rocky Ridge once again poured their fan-favourite brews, alongside regional powerhouses such as Uchu Brewing (Japan), Young Master (Hong Kong), and Heroes Beer Co. (Hong Kong). For those who prefer alternatives, Taiwan’s Draft Land will be shaking up cocktails on tap, while Dancing Cider adds a refreshing twist with artisanal ciders.
Brewnanza isn’t just a beer lover’s dream—it’s also a feast for food enthusiasts. This year’s line-up brings together street food legends and local favourites, guaranteed to pair perfectly with a pint.
Newcomer MEOW Barbecue fired up its popular Chinese skewers, while crowd favourites like Smokeys BBQ returnred with tender, American-style smoked meats and fall-off-the-bone ribs. For burger purists, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer dished up their towering, juice-loaded creations. Fans of bold flavours dived into Papi’s Tacos for authentic Mexican bites, or grab rotisserie chicken with a cheeky twist at Chico Loco.
The 2025 edition also featured an electric mix of indie acts, regional DJs, and high-energy party collectives, setting the stage for a weekend-long soundtrack that shifts from breezy afternoon sessions to high-octane late-night vibes for festival-goers to get with the vibe and keep the party going.
