Oktoberfest is a German beer festival that has been around since 1810. The popularity of this boozy event has grown so tremendously that even non-German cities all over the world celebrate it on an annual basis.

Needless to say, Singapore too celebrates this joyous occasion! Beer never gets old, right?

On a hot summer day, especially like the merciless sun we have in Singapore, is the perfect time to have a cold beer down your throat. I have a typical guy’s appetite – I love food like pizzas, burgers, steaks and fried chicken, and the choice of drink will always be a pint of ice cold beer. Or should I say, there is always time for beer.

Beerfest Asia 2013 was concluded last week and I am sure beer lovers had a field day sampling more than 400 types of beers from all over the world. One of the beers that made its debut in Singapore is Tucher Beer. Not many people have heard of Tucher Beer, yet, as they have only started to distribute in the region recently. But if you enjoy your beer, and are always on the lookout for something new, you must try Tucher Beer.

There are many Bavarian beers, but only Tucher combines the venerable Bavarian brewing tradition with the consummate skill it takes to produce exquisite top-notch beers.

[ Giveaway ] Tucher Beer is partnering ladyironchef to give away 5 cartons of beer, so read on to find out how you can win them.

For more than three centuries Tucher Bräu has successfully combined the fine art of beer brewing with ultra modern technology and superb quality. Moreover, in keeping with this centuries-old tradition, Tucher Bräu uses rigorously selected ingredients of superb quality, which are tested. It is brewed in the strict accordance with the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot of 1516 – also known as the German Beer Purity Law, a regulation of the production of beer in Germany – to ensure that you will get the best quality beer.

So its entrance is definitely great news for all beer lovers in Sunny Singapore. The Germans take pride in doing their beer well and I am sure you are already as excited as I am.

And you know what is the best part? They have a Tucher Beer’s e-store. I love their e-commerce website for its clean design and easy navigation. Planning a house party? Or a sleepover? Or plotting to get your bachelor friends drunk? Anything. They carry a mind-boggling selection of beer, such as the intense and subtly bitter Pilsener, Tucher Dunkles Hefe Weizen - a dark and robust mixture of light wheat malt and dark barley malt, and the soft and bright Tucher Original Urbräu - a popular Franconian specialty for distinctive occasions. They provide delivery within 24 hours, and the delivery service is waived with every purchase of 3 cartons and above.
