Brewtown Beer Fest
April 18
12pm
Great Beer!🍻
It wouldn’t be Brewtown without great beer, and this April Aotearoa’s best breweries will descend on Brewtown to pour every style you could possibly desire, from crisp Lagers, cold IPAs and hoppy Pale Ales, to funky Sours, smoky Porters, rich Pastry Stouts – and everything in between!
Visit Brewtown’s own custom-built Unimog Bar for 12 beers handpicked by our craft beer experts, but get in quick – we only have 1 keg of each, and they won’t last long!
IT’S FRESH HOP SEASON!
April is a brewtiful time of year – the hops have been harvested and the luckiest of them have gone straight into the best brews to bring us beers we only get to enjoy once a year. It’s a time for brewers to really showcase their art – and we’re bringing you all the fresh hops you could wish for – in one place!
Watch this space for the lowdown on what’s pouring!
Top Shelf Spirits & Wine!🍸
New for this year! Step into our cocktail bar for some seriously stylish spirits! Our mixologists have been hard at work creating devilishly delicious drops just for you.
We’re bringing in some of the best wines the Wairarapa has to offer, so whether you prefer a crisp Sauv, a fruity Pinot or a refreshing Frosé there will be something to enjoy.
Still not enough for you? Then head down to the Everything Else Bar, for NZ crafted ciders, as well as bourbon, rum, gin and vodka alongside a range of low and no alcohol beers, cocktails and soft drinks.
Delicious Kai!🌮
The NZBF food court hosts the region’s top foodies, bringing you big, bold, flavour-packed festival eats to satisfy every craving!
- The Polish Sausage Company. Wellington’s premier artisan smokehouse, where tradition meets flavour. We specialise in crafting authentic Polish sausages (kielbasa), handmade pierogi, and naturally smoked meats — using artisan techniques and the highest quality ingredients.
- Poultry In Motion. Serving up arguably the best fried chicken in Welly, from simply mild through to seriously spicy, if you haven’t tried it you’re missing out.
- Rose & Smith. Dale and his team do wonderful things with food, firing up their unique pit grills to deliver the most delicious eats with that mouth-watering flavour you only get from wood-fired BBQ.
- Donut Express. To satisfy that snack-time sweet tooth! Go great with a pastry stout 😉
