On the menu for Newport World Resorts’ first Oktoberfest is a meister in the realm of world-class beers. All the way from Bavaria, Germany, the Weihenstephan Brewery stands as the oldest brewery in the world and the official beverage partner for the beer festival happening from Oct. 19 to Oct. 21 at The Ballroom, Hilton Manila. 

 

“We are more than pleased to supply Newport World Resorts with premium quality beers this Oktoberfest,” says Larelen Go Dagondon, managing director of the distributors of Weihenstephan Brewery products. With nearly 1,000 years in the industry, the brewery’s seasoned brewmasters fuse traditional processes with state-of-the-art technology to craft Premium Bavaricum, the brewery’s highest standard of quality.

Capturing the classic Bavarian drinking experience, the Weihenstephaner Original Helle evokes a light and refreshing flavor with a dash of spice. Still, this beer carries a strong character to be enjoyed with any hearty dish. 

 

The Hefeweissbier or Yeast White Beer shines as the star of the Weihenstephan Brewery. This elegant, white-foam beer boasts a balanced and creamy taste from the harmony of bananas and cloves, ideal at the end of a busy day. 

 

Last but not the least, the Hefeweissbier Dunkel is a sparkling, full-bodied drink with a note of caramel and a perfect partner to German desserts. This dark wheat beer elicits a velvety mouthfeel and a sweet aroma, winning its spot among locals’ favorites and global beer awards. 

 

Indulge in a free-flow of these Weihenstephan beers—stronger than the average local beer—on tap and by the bottle across the three nights of the Oktoberfest celebration. “This festival marks the get-together of masterminds, from our renowned chefs to expert Bavarian brewmasters, for an unparalleled authentic experience,” says David Jorden, Newport World Resorts chief marketing officer. 

 

The festivities also spotlight German sausages and dishes prepared by the integrated resorts’ global culinary team. Topping it all off are live performances by the AnTon Showband and a flurry of drinking games and special prizes. For 5,200 nett per head, join the party from Oct. 19 to 21 at The Ballroom, Hilton Manila. Doors open at 6 p.m. www.newportworldresorts.com
