New Zealand Beer Festival returns to Auckland and Wellington in 2010
22.01.10
[press release]
We mow our hedges with a lawnmower, sent our first rocket to space on a shoe-string, as kiwis we make MacGuyver look like a school boy. What is it that fuels our creativity and spirit, that simply finds a way through against all odds? Is there something in the water? Have Fonterra been messing with our milk?
It's not the water or the milk New Zealand, there's something in the beer! Craft New Zealand brewers embody the spirit of our nation, turning the world's most pure ingredients into our greatest competitive advantage. The result of their craft fuels creativity across the country.
It is but a few that put New Zealand on the map with grace, dignity and that reknowned kiwi modesty. While beer has seen overall decline in sales, these entreprenuers who hone their craft day in and day out with passion and grace have bucked the trend, seeing double-digit growth in the last year alone.
When a brewer stands in their community and offers the fruits of their labour, foodies, musicians, and the sun-gods unite to create an occasion you never want to leave. We invite you to do indulge in their craft...
New Zealand, there's something in our beer.
The Liquorland New Zealand Beer Festival returns to Auckland and Wellington in 2010. Now in its fourth year the Festival has gone from strength to strength as the uniquely Kiwi mix of beer, food, music and summer creates an unforgettable atmosphere for good times with great mates.
