The Liquorland New Zealand Beer Festival returns to Auckland in 2009, now in its third year the Festival has gone from strength to strength. Each year the uniquely Kiwi mix of Beer, Food, Music and Summer creates an unforgettable atmosphere for Good Times with Great Mates.

Drink
Over 60 beers from more than 20 breweries will be represented at the festival, featuring a wide range of New Zealand beers, with a few notable overseas visitors.

Eat
We’re blessed with an amazing range of quality food to compliment beer tasting, from traditional New Zealand fare to European, Asian and Middle Eastern.

Listen
We’ve got an eclectic line-up of great summer sounds, from a chilled vibe during the day to energetic acts you’ll know the words to later on…

Autozamm
Carving a niche as one of this fine country's best live acts... The boys have paid their dues and are now searching Rock n Roll's pockets for the key to the gate with release of their sophmore album Drama Queen in March. Drama Queen features 10 riff dunking, drama infused melody-dripping tunes of Love, Death and Threesomes.
Rumoured to be from Taihape Autozamm's on-stage shenanigans have got to the point "where I don't think Ill ever be able to look my mother in the eye again," confesses Nick.

Jordan Luck from the Exponents
As frontman and pop-writing genius with the (legendary) Exponents and The Rock'n'Roll Circus, he clocked up a staggering 18 Top 40 singles over the years, with 'Victoria' recently voted by public as the 8th greatest New Zealand song of all time.
Luck is the band that Jordan has assembled to carry on the torch of his pop-writing gift. Hand-picked from a wish-list of players he wanted to work with, Jordan found that he didn't need to look further than the first four on his list.

The Naked And The Famous
Auckland's The Naked And Famous are named after a line from a Tricky song, and based around the ferociously talented pairing of composer/control freak Thom Powers and vocal siren/lyricist Alisa Xayalith, though they operate as a four piece live.

SJD
The stage name and acronym of Auckland born and based singer, songwriter, musician and producer Sean James Donnelly. He is a uniquely New Zealand artist who has released four albums of his own compositions since 1999. His most recent album 'Songs From A Dictaphone' received overwhelming accolades from the media and chart recognition upon its release.

Sarah Brown
Sarah, like many artists, developed her vocal skills singing along to backing tapes and at the age of 12 she recorded her first demo. By 14 Sarah has become frustrated at the thought of singing other people's songs and decided to put all her energy into releasing her own music.
During the past 12 months Sarah has supported Jamie Cullum during his sellout New Zealand concert, Tim Finn, Greg Johnson and played for top NZ Fashion Designer Trelise Cooper and her guests at the label's NZ Fashion Week event.

Sam Hill

Sam has played alongside international DJs; Fatboy Slim, Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfold, Basement Jaxx, Eric Morillo, Grooverider, M-People, Norman Jay, Axwell, Infusion, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and many, many more.

I would make a few tweaks to the beer fridge based on Tesla's "Transported Man" machine to clone the beer and provide me with an unending supply.

I will build a city from it and then go on a mini pub crawl

If I won a fridge of Beer I would proclaim to all my mates that I was a god, and they would follow me, with the belief that beer is the almighty.

Several weeks ago my father lost both his beer fridges and a large collection of international beer when his garage burnt down. Needless to say he was devastated (not just about the beer :) ) But dad collects beer caps and has a large collection he is very proud of that was thankfully in the house and not also lost. I think my dad would be very deserving of this prize. Thank you :)

I have a girls night coming up and we are all good beer drinkers. I would share it with my girlfriends and see where the mood takes us ;-)

I would invite all my mates round so we could share them & chill out saying how awesome it is to have free beer

I would fill up a spa pool with all the beer and turn on the bubbles, assuming there is enough beer.

I would share the beers with our friends who are coming to our house on Sunday to celebrate my son coming home from Australia!

What would I do with 3 dozen? Start the morning with beer instead of milk on my weetbix, followed by beer instead of coffee. Several "coffees" ( coffee meaning beer) for smoko. A fruit and beer smoothie for lunch accompanied by a beer. Fish poached in beer with beer mashed spuds and beer battered veges for dinner. Beer to wash it all down. And to finish the day (have to be Saturday couldn't do it any other day) a few quiet beers (or maybe not so quiet!) with who ever happens to be around!

Have to admit that with a wedding looming, something like this would be awesome to win :)
I'm sure I could find a few people on the wedding list that would be willing to help me drink it

Okay picture this. We have a shub (shower-tub, small) at our house. I hear that beer is good for the hair, so its probably good for the skin too. I would fill my shub with beer then jump in and have a good splash around!! Use a super long straw to drink what I could while I was swimming, then after getting out, rebottle what I could to serve to unsuspecting "friends" (annoying people who hang around that I don't really like!) Hopefully they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between soap bubbles and beer froth!! (I'll try not to pee in the beer before bottling it! I said try and I make no promises!)

Would love to have a beer with my old work collegues as we have all gone our seperate ways after work closed down.
sweetpea 3 years ago

I would have a beer a day until they ran out and see if I could stop at just one a night maybe I could get sponsored to see if I don't have more than one. The prize at the end will of course be my fridge refilled.
Jan Gordon 3 years ago

Picture this, an awesome day in the midst, followed by some equally awesome company, set in a not so tranquill ambience of pure heinous rock music, bbq emitting those wonderous smells, the sun slowly going down, party lights aglow in the night, laughter and dancing conquering the party site, all thanx to the amazing array of uniquely Kiwi blend beers packed into the sportiest sexiest beer fridge alive, keeping the party going with a cold kiwi best mate. Rock on my friends with the deliciousness of great NZ beers...this would be my contribution to the supreme sublimeness of my honouring the kiwi contents of the wonderous beer fridge.
Carolyn Birch 3 years ago

If i won a fridge full of beer, i would put it in the middle of my backyard, have all my friends and family around and have a sunday session in the sun (hopefully), whilst listening to chilled out music and catching up with everyone.
Yvonne Borich 3 years ago

I'd be inviting a few of my nearest & dearest mates over for a good ole fashioned beer drinking, footie watching & Kiwi bbq-ing afternoon/evening/next morning (ha!ha!). That combination of fine company, exceptionally fine beer & delicatably fine kiwi tucker, (mmmmm I can smell those mussels, steaks & sossies as i'm typing this) just can't be done any other way......

Damian Fay 3 years ago

Well me and the house mates would take great delight in drinking New Zealands finest and then recycle the cans into a majestic shrine in the shape of a Kiwi and honour the brewerys for all their hard work and effort in producing some of the best this earth has to offer!

My dad took me to the local pub after a Waikato rugby game for a celebration drink and I was mortified when the publician (who I knew) asked if I was old enough to be in the pub (with my dad even!). The beer tasted even better after that though.
Jacquipep 3 years ago

Both my sons have done well lately, the older one got a great promotion at work and the other passed his Electrical exams, so I'd throw a beer and barbecue party for Family and Friends to let them know how proud of them we are.

I would chuck it all in the back seat of the car one sunny Sunday afternoon; and attempt to set a New Zealand Land-Speed Record on Auckland's Southern Motorway.

Owen Thompson 3 years ago

With 3 dozen beers, I'd keep them for myself so that when I'm drunk my partner will take advantage of me like a cheap piece of meat.
Jan Hayes 3 years ago

I'd invite me mates round, a couple of neighbours and have a good old party in the garage. I don't care if it rains - we can crank the barbie up in the shed!!
