More craft beer fests to come
Craft beer culture is on the rise. More and more enthusiasts are on the lookout for the freshest, newest local brews to discover which ones offer the most creativity, intricacy and depth.
Homegrown concoctions from different regions have been bubbling up in conversations, flavors from Sagada to Bicol and Baler, to name a few. Greenfield Development Corp. (GDC) has brought them all together in one grand event — its first-ever Craft Beer Fest.
Considered to be the biggest gathering of artisanal craft beer brewers in the country, GDC’s beer fest, in partnership with Philippine Craft Beer Community (PCBC), was held last Oct. 11 and 12 at Greenfield District, Mandaluyong City and featured 175 varieties from 35 breweries.
Around 5,000 attendees joined the two-day festival and got to sample assorted flavor profiles paired with their favorite sizzling beermatch appetizers.
Among the breweries were Cerveza Sagada, Amigos de la Plaza, Boondocks Brewing Co, PCK and Brewlab 2021.
If you didn’t get to come to GDC’s Craft Beer Fest, don’t worry. More craft beer fests are soon to come that the festival is set to become an annual event to be held at both Greenfield District in Mandaluyong City and Greenfield City in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
“Like everyone of us has a different personality, each craft beer does, too. That’s why we’re giving enthusiasts the opportunity to discover new flavors while also supporting local breweries by providing a platform for them to showcase their products,” said lawyer Duane A.X. Santos, Greenfield Development Corp. EVP and general manager.
