New Zealand’s largest beer festival, Beervana, is set to return to Wellington’s Sky Stadium on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 August in 2024, organisers have confirmed.

This year’s event drew more than 14,000 people over the two days in August, sampling more than 340 beers from more than 60 craft breweries from across New Zealand and Australia.

Beervana Manager Ryan McArthur says that Beervana continues to evolve and showcase New Zealand’s craft brewing industry each year. “We’ve seen the rise of hazy IPAs and sour beers, and in 2023 there were a lot of pastry stouts and smoothie sours, we can’t wait to see what 2024 will bring.

“New Zealand’s brewing industry is known for excitement, creativity and ingenuity which makes it one of the most exciting beer scenes in the world, and we had nearly 800 internationals attend the festival this year,” says McArthur.

Tickets for next year’s Beervana will go on general release in June 2024.
