save water, drink beer

sorry all, i've been busy lately so my blog hasnt been updated in a bit.

it's funny really...
ever since the adidas event last month, i've been keeping a lookout for beerfest vacancies.
i knew it'd be loads of fun working there, and really hoped i'd be able to.
and long story short, one hour before the start of beerfest i got called in to replace some last-min pull-out.
haha damn lucky...

'cause beerfest asia 2011 was honestly a blast.
even though it has been a real disconnecting and bodyclock-spoiling 4 days.
i hardly had time for myself, not to mention enough sleep.
but it was an awesome experience, this i say again and again.

meeting new people, the new colleagues and friends.
being there to soak in the lights and sounds at marina promenade was terrific.

the music from the tribute bands: u2 achtungbaby, the rolling stones, the beatles, the blues brothers and killer queen!
and 53A from timbre were great too!
they really made my nights when everybody else was drinking and we (the staff) weren't allowed alcohol.

the free stuff: free beer free drumlets free fries free beer chips and other free things >:)
gotta' thank benny my beer supplier from APB and all the other people who gave me free stuff.
what goes around comes around so they gave me free things i gave them free things (vice versa)

plus, drinking on the job was awesome lol.
sneaking beer around while wearing the crew t-shirt and crew pass was a challenge.
very 47-ish, i like.

and the last night was the best, knocking off early and running around enjoying free beers legitimately.
plus the company... really a good ending to the entire festival.

to round off, here's a list of the new beers i tried for the first time.
(disclaimer: i've edited my "half-a-beer maximum" rule to render ineffective during any subsequent beerfests)

archipelago belgian wit
archipelago summer ale
archipelago irish ale
archipelago limited edition
somersby apple cider
magner's cider
kronenbourg 1664
krombacher pils
lindemans peach beer
jaz lychee beer
kirin from japan

okay 11 out of the 300 available there seems noob now...
haha hope the postparty for beerfest staff will be awesome!
cheers
