Today

Wellington’s Sky Stadium turns into a beer lover’s playground this weekend. Beervana is on today and tomorrow, with more than 60 local and international brewers pouring over 350 different beers - including medal winners, exclusive brews and never-before-in-NZ beer from South Korea. The breweries go all out with creative stands and experiences that make Beervana the hoppiest place on Earth.

But that’s not all - the food offering at Beervana includes crayfish rolls from Two Grey, crepes, oysters, pierogi, Korean fried chicken and Indian street food from Restaurant One80. Now in its 24th year, Beervana has grown into a landmark annual event for the beer industry and fans alike. Limited tickets are available at the stadium gate.

Coming up

Sunday marks the final day of Burger Wellington, the city’s biggest celebration of creativity between two buns. Over the past three weeks, more than 200 unique burgers have been served up across the region – from juicy classics to wildly inventive flavour mash-ups you won’t find anywhere else.

If you haven’t yet joined the burger hunt, now’s the time to gather your mates and tuck in before it’s all over. Whether you’re craving a plant-based creation, something stacked sky-high, or a cheeky late-night bite, there’s still a chance to taste what Wellington’s best chefs and eateries have dreamed up for 2025. Rate your burger, and go in the draw for a trip to Singapore thanks to Singapore Airlines.

Brewer of the Day: Dale Cooper, head brewer at Fortune Favours

Beervana.

What does this year’s festival theme Food is Love mean to you?

Good food (and beer) is best enjoyed with friends and family. Being able to share the experience is just something wonderful to do with the people you love.

What are you looking forward to in VWOAP?

What are you looking forward to in the festival?

Obviously it's Beervana for me, it's great to catch up with beer loving friends and make some new ones all while tasting some fantastic beers. I also eat my fair share of burgers.
