The team behind the NZ Craft Beer Symposia of the past two years is back with another celebration of Kiwi beer – and some more awesome prizes for beer lovers.

Misty Mountains Hops is described as "A celebration of all things that are good about New Zealand, the great outdoors and great New Zealand beer."

For a month from mid-June, a number of venues around Victoria will be celebrating New Zealand beer and offering the chance to win an all expenses trip to Mt Ruapehu in the North Island of New Zealand – home to the two largest snow fields in New Zealand and some of the best hospitality in the land of the long white cloud.

What's more, they've put together a second prize especially for Crafty Pint readers. If you're going to Beervana in Wellington this August you could win a midweek side trip to go skiing/boarding at Mt Ruapehu, staying in Ohakune all expenses paid – rental car, accommodation, snow passes, snow gear.

To be in with a chance of winning the Crafty prize, simply post a photo whenever you're enjoying one of the featured Kiwi beers at a participating venue on social media with the tags #craftypint and #mistymountainhops. Usual competition rules apply.

The Victorian venues showcasing beers from across The Ditch are:

The event is in full swing so head to the featured venues as there are many exclusive Kiwi beers among those to be devoured. Mt Ruapehu has received a heap of snow too and is up and running for the season.

Featured brewers hitting taps include:

  • ParrotDog
  • Panhead
  • Yeastie Boys
  • Renaissance
  • Tuatara
  • Garage Project
  • 8 Wired
  • Liberty
  • Epic

To be in with a chance of winning the main trip, simply head to one of the venues above and tuck into the Kiwi brewers' beers. The prize includes airfares for two, rental car for five days from Go Rentals, snow passes from Mt Ruapehu to go skiing or boarding, snow gear from Mt Ruapehu, accommodation courtesy of Rocky Mountain Chalets, adventure activities from TCB and hospitality from local venues. There's also outdoor clothing from Marmot, artwork from Onstone, gear from the breweries.
