GULPfest 2025: Unlimited Craft Beer Beckons for One Day Only
The guys behind Gulp Taproom in Robertson Quay are kicking off the northern summer in Singapore with GULPfest, a one-day craft beer festival showcasing 12 acclaimed craft breweries from around the world on the banks of the Singapore River.
GULPfest is inspired by the craft beer festivals in the Western world that offer tasting-session formats. The smaller pours allow you to explore the 42 beers and tasty bites from The Piemonger and OMG! Donuts on offer across both four-hour sessions.
What better way to celebrate the summer solstice locally than kicking back in a beer garden and taking your palates on a ride with your crew?
