Creating Connections
BREWNZ '23
The Brewers Guild of New Zealand are excited to present a 3 day celebration of the New Zealand brewing industry, in Christchurch 3 - 5 August 2023.
Following three years of disruption we are bringing back BREWNZ, New Zealand's only conference and expo dedicated to the brewing industry. We are also thrilled to be hosting the New Zealand Beer Awards Gala Dinner, in one location so the NZ Brewing industry can celebrate together, in person.
The theme of this years activities is 'Creating Connections' and the goal is to bring people from throughout the grain to glass supply chain together, to share ideas, celebrate successes and to enjoy some lovingly crafted New Zealand beer in great company.
Read below to find out more about the events. We will continue to add information to this page as we finalise details.
