OKTOBERFEST at THE LONG BAR in RAFFLES MAKATI

It's always a good time when you visit LONG BAR in Raffles Makati. More so when it's OKTOBERFEST. For the month of October, Raffles Hotel turned the Long Bar into the place to visit when it comes to enjoying a cold one.
Usually, LONG BAR is known for their amazing cocktails and their long list of alcohol bottles that are available for consumption.
This time around, from 5pm to 8pm guests could partake of one heck of a HAPPY HOUR. There is free flowing BEER from draft choices like their very own Octoberfest Brew to Munich Hell Original, Hefe Weisbier, and Paulaner Dunkel Original. Other local and imported beers are also available. Aside from these, you could go for gin, vodka, whisky, and rum
In addition, cocktails are also unlimited. From the classic Singapore Sling, Lychee Martini, and the famous Rain or Shine. For food, you could order the PORK KNUCKLE and SAUSAGE PLATTER. For Php 1,250, a number of sausages and the most amazing pork knuckle is available. Believe me when I say that the knuckles are so good. Crispy and moist at the same time, it actually goes well with the bread and the mashed potato.
The LONG BAR of RAFFLES MAKATI is offering the OKTOBERFEST from 5pm to 8pm for only Php 695Php. If you wish to extend happy hour up to 10pm, you could just add Php 300 per person. Not bad considering that this is unlimited and is served in one of the best hotel bars in the metro.

EDSA SHANGRI-LA HOPFEST: 2017 Beery Important Event

Since it is October, one of the things that I look forward to during this month would be the celebration of Oktoberfest. Mainly to enjoy good times with friends and loved ones, this German festival is perfect for the Filipino community.
This coming October 14-15, Edsa Shangri-La will be the home of HOPFEST. A gathering of more than twelve local microbreweries that will offer more than thirty beer variants. During this time, guests could either go for a beer flight for only 500Php or a package that could have unlimited craft beer and wood-fired pizza for Php1,200.
From 3-11pm, the pool side bar will be transformed into the place to be at. Beer will be free flowing for BEER-Y important persons and it would be one heck of an event.
Just over the weekend, a media preview was held to give a sneak peak into some of the beers that would be present during the HOPFEST.


Different courses were served and paired with craft beers that were locally made. One very notable drink would be the LIMELIGHT. Specially brewed for Edsa Shangri-La, this beer goes down easily. It's light in a sense that it isn't too bitter. It goes well with seafood dishes as well.
HOPFEST would be on October 14-15, 2017. From 3-11pm at the pool side bar, guests have the option to go for a beer flight (500Php) or go all out and indulge with unlimited beer and pizza at (1,200Php).
