Quench
your undying thirst brought about by summer in Drink Up Philippines, the
country’s first alcohol festival focusing on local craft and international
beer, handcrafted cocktails and quality wines, this coming May 24 at the Forum,
BGC.
Expect
to discover over 150 types of alcoholic concoctions with their fine roster of local
bars and breweries, while Manila’s finest mixologists help you get the good
kind of buzz.
“Drink
Up has a very interesting mix of bars, speakeasies and breweries from all over
the Philippines joining us at the festival. We also have the best home grown
music talents performing at the festival,” shares Andrea Sambar, Communications
Manager of Drink Up Philippines.
Among
the popular names on the golden list will be Rocket Room, part of BGC’s haute
bar scene, whose skilled mixologists will be there to serve you their famously
odd, but brilliantly crafted mixes like the mysterious Rocket Fuel made with
their special House Made Jalapeño Pepper Vodka. Another bar to watch out for is
the notably quirky Big Bad Wolf, a hidden hipster haven sought out by many for
their twists on famous drinks.
For
the beer connoisseurs, Drink Up scoured through the country searching for up and
coming local breweries that the Philippines has to offer. Brewers from all around the country, like Palawan,
Baguio, and Iligan City will be present to showcase their personal brews, such
as local brewery, Craftpoint Brewing Co., who will be debuting their German
IPL, Mr. Braumeister.
Satisfy
your taste buds and marry your drink with a wide array of mouthwatering dishes to
complement your beverage and leave you eternally craving for more. With the
help of choice restaurants like Pink Panda, celebrity chef Erwan Huessaff’s
newest venture, get a taste of the rich South East Asian rich cuisine prepared
with a modern twist. Travel over to Las Flores, whose scrumptious tapas will
immediately transport you to Spain, served up wonderfully with a glass of their
sangria.
Finally,
soothe your soul with music by the amazing lineup of local bands with the likes
of the Cebuano indie rock band, Urbandub, the Oktaves, and Filipino electrorock
band, Pedicab. Drink Up’s diverse lineup
of musical acts will keep you company and provide you the perfect soundtrack to
cap off your far from monotonous day.
Sambar
added that festival-goers will be surprised at the surreal amount of beverages
that will be present at the event. “We want everyone to try out something new
and expand their palates. From exceptional local craft and international beers
to specially prepared cocktails, everyone will definitely find something new to
enjoy.”
With
the wide variety of exceptional drinks, food and music in Drink Up’s arsenal,
Drink Up will definitely be a festival you can count on to bring on the good
vibes and unforgettable memories that will put you in a sunny mood even after
summer’s over.
