A cold Balashi in your hand, your friends around the table and someone calling you over to watch their turn with the giant dice. If you joined us at Aruba Beer Festival, you probably recognize the scene.
Our Balashi area brought together dominoes, beer pong, places to hang out and a merchandise giveaway that got plenty of people cheering. Add live music, a Chill photobooth and the energy you brought, and we had an amazing festival to look back on.
Whether you came with your regular crew or were visiting Aruba and exploring the festival for the first time, we were happy to have you with us.
We wanted our space to feel like somewhere you could settle in. Meet your friends, grab a cold beer and see where the evening takes you.
The domino tables gave you a place to sit down and get a game going. And if you’ve ever played with someone who takes dominoes seriously, you know the conversation can be just as entertaining as the game.
At the high tables, guests caught up between rounds and enjoyed the atmosphere. Others headed straight for beer pong, ready to test their aim while their friends watched nearby.
Under the strings of lights, with our Balashi sign in the background, the area came to life through all those little moments: a shared laugh, a photo together, a good shot and a table full of people enjoying themselves.
You couldn’t spend much time in our area without noticing the giant dice, or the crowd gathering around it.
During the festival, purchases of three or five beers gave guests a chance to roll for Balashi merchandise. You stepped up, gave it a throw and waited to see how it would land, usually with your friends offering plenty of encouragement.
The anticipation was half the fun. Every bounce had people watching, and the winning reactions gave us some of our favorite photos from the festival. Guests proudly showed off their prizes, including Balashi coolers, before heading back to their groups.
It was a simple idea that brought a lot of excitement to our corner of Beer Festival. Thanks to everyone who joined in and everyone who cheered them on.
Balashi is proudly brewed here in Aruba and being part of the island means being part of the moments we share.
Di nos e ta. It’s ours. At Beer Festival, that feeling came through in the familiar faces stopping by, the friends gathering over dominoes and the visitors joining the fun.
If you live here, you know how good it feels to get your people together and enjoy a local favorite. If you’re visiting, sharing a Balashi is a simple way to get a little closer to the island, especially when there’s a game to join or a conversation happening beside you.
You might arrive for the beer and leave remembering the people you met, the friend who won a prize or the photo you took together. Those are the moments we love being part of.
Our sister brand Chill also brought a photobooth to the festival, giving you another place to stop with your crew and capture the evening.
Between the games, the music and the dice giveaway, there was plenty happening. Taking a photo gave you a little piece of it to keep, and something to share with the friends who couldn’t make it.
To everyone who stopped by, played a round, rolled the dice or stayed to hang out: thank you! We loved seeing you enjoy the space, and your energy made our participation at Aruba Beer Festival special.
We’re already looking forward to more moments together.
