Tickets are on sale and August is drawing nearer, so it’s time to get your mates together and start planning your experience in Wellington on 22 + 23 August.

Alongside a line up of over 60 breweries pouring more than 300 different beers, here’s a sample paddle of what’s happening at this year's Beer Wonderland…

If you’re thinking fondly of this year’s Beervana and getting thirsty for your next taste adventure, we’ve got the perfect place for you: the Sunshine Coast in Australia. This destination is more than just stunning beaches and warm sunshine; it's a paradise for those who love craft beer and great food. And judging by the public praise heaped on the  Sunshine Coast brews at Beervana, we think you’ll agree!

With easy direct flights from Wellington and Auckland to Sunshine Coast with Air New Zealand and Qantas (and with Jetstar from December), your next culinary and craft beer adventure is just a few hours away.

With Beervana over for another year, here are the beers you loved the most. 

Who can take the sun rise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it with dry hop and a miracle or two…Beervana can!

Whether this is your first rodeo or you’re a seasoned Beervana ninja, check out these pro tips to make sure you get the most out of the ultimate celebration of good beer!

Beer is great, it's true. But what is a beer festival without food? Beervana is just as much for the foodies, as it is for the beer connoisseur with a huge array of delicious food vendors grilling, frying, and shucking their way around the concourse.

This year sees the return of festival favourites Boulcott Street Bistro’s  whitebait sammie  and Mahurangi Oysters… as well as  an exciting new line up of food vendors to keep your appetite happy.

From pies, to pierogis, to pasties - be sure to keep an eye on the Beervana food vendor list as it grows and plan your tasty tour around Sky Stadium.

While Beervana is undoubtedly the ultimate celebration of good beer, there’s so much more to enjoy. Check out these beer-adjacent libations on offer. 

As if Beervana wasn’t already chocka block of fun things to do while enjoying some delicious brews… we’re stoked to be hosting the Cello National Cornhole Championships this year. 

Here at Beervana we’re proud to be able to support the New Zealand beer scene by showcasing the mahi of the incredible people that make up the industry.

2024 sees the return of the Beervana International Invitational for the first time in five years! When it comes to good beer, it’s hard to look past Germany, so this year we’ll be celebrating the breadth, history and creativity of German brewing (not an easy task with three breweries!). We’ll be welcoming brewers from each of the three breweries to pour their beer to the Good Beer drinking people of New Zealand. Here’s what you can expect from the German breweries joining us in Wellington this August. The Beervana International Invitational is supported by our mates at Singapore Airlines and DACHSER.

Beervana Manager, Ryan McArthur, takes a little time to reflect on the year that was and pulls out a few Beervana and Beervana-adjacent highlights.
