Welcome to the Dunedin Craft Beer & Food Festival!

2018 date will be announced soon…

The Dunedin Craft Beer & Food Festival is a unique and vibrant culmination of local heroes, kiwi brewing and culinary heritage. Every year we strive to bring you a bigger, broader and bolshier range of goodies, and the fun doesn’t stop at great food and glasses of glorious brown fizz! All the deliciousness is complemented with classic kiwi tunes, seminars, heaps of games, fun, laughter, a full programme for actual kids as well as the big ones, and plenty of banter.

The festival is all about engaging with friends and family, of sharing stories through food and drink, and feeding our basic fundamental human needs to feel happy and alive. This is the ultimate friends-family-fiends day out!

Top Kiwi Tunes

Joining him on stage are multi-award winning and hit single producing Goodshirt, who are returning to Dunedin for the first time in 15 years, and relative newcomers and radio favourites, Nomad.

Food and Bevvies Galore

Focusing on a true appreciation of quality ingredients and expertise, the festival celebrates both craft beer (one of the fastest growing industries in New Zealand) and the flourishing fine food and beverage scene we’re so privileged to have on our back doorstep. With over 90 stalls setting up on the pitch of Forsyth Barr Stadium there will be something for everyone; some good old southern charm and enough top-quality food and drink to choke a goat!

Brewing Bonanza

This year’s Official Festival Brew is ‘Saul’s Milk Stout’ crafted by Saul Ross and John Creighton, winners of the 2016 Homebrew Competition. We’re lucky to have local legends, Emerson’s on board to help them bring this stunning stout to the masses. If you’re a homebrewer enthusiast there is still time to enter this year’s competition!
