The first ‘Brew of Islands’ Craft Beer Festival is set to take place in Kerikeri on the 21st and 22nd of July, 2023.
The brainchild of Tyler Bamber – the publican of The Pioneer Tavern in Waipapa, and Gerry Paul – Festival Director of the country’s largest street festival CubaDupa and Entertainment Manager for Beervana, Brew of Islands was dreamed up one day while joining in the age-old camaraderie of a beer after work.
The festival will feature powerhouse brewers including Parrotdog, Garage Project, Urbanaut and Cassels, plus local favourites Kainui Brew Co., Phat House, Bay of Islands Brewing, McLeods and 8 Wired.
There will also be hand-crafted cocktails from Ben Thrippleton of Kindred Spirits and street food menu by some of the best local suppliers.
“Brew of Islands is a chance to celebrate something everyone loves – beer – and use it to help showcase some of Northland’s other great qualities,” says Bamber.
“We love it up here and we hope our guests from around the country will get a sneak peak of all there is to enjoy!”
Tickets will be available from Friday April 28th via iTicket.
