The Great Kiwi Beer Festival

The South Island's largest beer festival returns to Hagley Park this coming February, promising to deliver beer and food connoisseurs the ultimate day in the sun.

After the sell out event in 2012, the Great Kiwi Beer Fest will once again offer a stellar line up of New Zealand's best premium and craft beers and a sensational selection of international imports, matched to a mouth watering array of culinary fare.

Expect to meet more than a few brewers, the return of our Craft Beer Academy, a Features programme to educate and entertain, and music from some of our finest festival acts headlined by the one of the country's most legendary live performers, Supergroove.

The Great Kiwi Beer Festival is the ultimate “cheers” to New Zealand’s affinity with the great amber nectar and the perfect way to round off the summer.

NB - In the case of poor weather, a postponement date has been set for Sunday 24th February.
