Seven Stops on the Road to Beervana
How to prepare and come down from the country's biggest beer festival.
Road to Beervana takes the country's most fun beer festival and turns it into a week-long extravaganza celebrating all things malt, hops and yeast. This year's schedule is taking it literally and taking to the road, with events around Aotearoa. As well as Auckland and Christchurch, the RTB Road Trip is stopping off in in smaller cities down the North Island before it arrives in Wellington. Regardless of whether you are a Wellington local or a beer loving visitor, the week before Beervana is one of the best times of year to be in the capital. There's 46 beer-focused events in Wellington alone, so narrowing it down to just a few stops ain't easy, but here's where you'll find us from 4-13 August this year.
