For the past couple of years, on Waitangi Day, events celebrating Kiwi craft beer have been held at venues across Australia. And this year is no different, except there are even more venues.
The NZ Craft Beer Symposium sees venues turn over their taps to some of the finest beers from across The Ditch, some just for the day and others for several days either side of Waitangi Day on February 6.
Featured brewers this year include:
- Epic
- Garage Project
- Hop Federation
- Liberty
- Panhead
- ParrotDog
- Renaissance
- Tuatara
- Yeastie Boys
- 8 Wired
The events also feature chances to win beer- and NZ-related goodies. The main prize is for a weekend for two to Beervana in Wellington. This includes flights, accommodation, tickets to Beervana, brunch at Cafe Lafarre on Saturday and brunch at Sweet Mothers Kitchen on Sunday.
