#FoodPH - Get Ready for the MABREWHAY Craft Beer Festival: The Ultimate Summer Beer Celebration in Makati City
Engkanto Brewery, the most internationally awarded local craft brewery, is leading the Filipino craft community in organizing the first MABREWHAY Craft Beer Festival. Co-presented by Ayala Land and Make It Makati, this exciting event will take place from May 16 to 18, 2025, at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati City. Admission is free, so mark your calendars!
Following the success of last year’s Craft Beer Fest 2024, which attracted around 7,500 attendees over two days, MABREWHAY aims to draw even more beer enthusiasts this year with an unprecedented three-day celebration. This makes it the longest craft beer festival in the country.
A Showcase of the Finest Local Craft Breweries
Joining Engkanto at the festival are some of the best local craft breweries from across the country, including Boondocks Brewing, Bulul Brewery, Craft Beer Sanctuary, Cubao X Brewery, Elias Wicked Ales & Spirits, Kumintang Brewery, Mitchell’s Backyard Brewery, Monkey Eagle Brewery, Palm Tree Abbey, Papa Bolo, and Treeline Ales. These homegrown breweries have earned local and international accolades, such as Elias winning the Asia Beer Championship’s Champion Small-Sized Brewery of Asia and Mitchell’s Mocha Stout receiving the ABC Gold Award.
Amplifying the Craft Beer Experience
The festival will feature the Philippine Craft Brewers Association, Manila Mashers Homebrewing Club, Hitachino Nest from Japan, and Yakima Chief Hops, all joining forces for the first time. Attendees can look forward to brewers sessions, hops sensory experiences, homebrewing demos, and beer-tasting masterclasses to deepen their appreciation of the art and science behind brewing beers.
Exciting Activities and Giveaways
Festivalgoers will have the chance to win a trip to Chiang Mai courtesy of Cebu Pacific, along with summer flip-flops from Havaianas and ride vouchers from GrabCar. Fun activities include a frisbee bootcamp for kids hosted by the Nuvali Frisbee Club, cornhole games, and a short photography workshop by Fujifilm Philippines.

The all-vinyl DJ duo of the Groovesetters and DJ SARAH will spin the funkiest tracks for three days.
