Dusit Davao's First-ever Beer & Pool Fest With San Miguel Beer

dusitD2 Davao and Dusit Thani Residence Davao partners with leading beverage brand San Miguel Beer on its very first beer and pool festival, matched with performances from international and local artists.

The celebration was epic. We appreciated the food. The prepared food line has been perfectly matched with the beer. Personally, my choice was Cerveza Negra.

Dusit Davao pumps up the month of November with an exciting two-day event, co-presented by San Miguel Beer. The Beer and Pool Festival, held last November 4 and 5, highlights both traditional German Oktoberfest and the contemporary Filipino celebrations through performances from an international duo and a local band. 

In his welcome message, GM Christoph Kuch expresses, “It is good to finally celebrate beer festivals! What’s unique about the way we do it in Dusit is the merging of cultures for this event. With Oktoberfest originating from Germany and has evolved versions around the world, it would be a refreshing night of good times and good company. We are grateful to San Miguel Beer and our entertainment partners.”

The weekend event had Zweisam Together and Midnight Blues as its performers in alternate sets. Svenja and Jo, the duo behind Zweisam Together are from Germany, and has started to tour the world since 2017. They have held concerts and parties throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mallorca, Ibiza, London, Beijing, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Saigon, Laos and Australia. 

A young band from the Davao region, Midnight Blues added flavor to the event with their music. 

Dusit’s culinary prowess were also showcased during the event, with new Executive Chef Piya Suthasiri leading the team. A grilling station with famous German sausages and meats were available, sealing the entire beer fest vibe. Other signatures like the cochinillo and pork belly roll were a hit as well, along with the wide array of cheese, nuts, breads, seafood, main dishes, and desserts. 

Raffle prizes from dining, spa, to accommodation were given away for guests to enjoy. Director of F&B Ryan Dela Cueva says, “We are happy to give Dabawenyos a well-deserved treat, and we are more delighted to have San Miguel with us for this year’s Beer Fest. Our holiday offers will even be more exciting and will definitely be something to look forward to.”
