The annual Beerfest is finally getting some intriguing competition next year when the first-ever Craft Singapore 2016—a dedicated craft beer festival with more than 25 local and international brewers—takes place Mar 4-6 around the Marina Bay Waterfront.

Expect international heavyhitters like Eastern Craft Trading (Four Pure Brewing, Sambrooks), TSA Wines (Brewdog), MSBEV (Holgate) among many others. Organized by Archipelago, Brewerkz and local microbrewery Little Island Brewing Company, the festival will also have a bunch of food (no word on exact vendors at the moment), performances by local bands and guest DJs.

And if you're a special beer nerd, sign up for one of the masterclasses and workshops that'll run throughout the weekend for a sneak peak into the lesser known brewing styles and special techniques. 

Early bird tickets that will be on till Jan 31 are going for $80 a pop which will include $50 worth of food & beverage vouchers and access to workshops.
