One of the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest beer festivals has just revealed its international lineup for 2026.

Beervana returns to Wellington this August, bringing together breweries from New Zealand and around the world for a celebration of craft beer, brewing culture and innovation.

This year’s lineup features breweries from North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia, giving festival-goers the chance to sample beers they would rarely find on tap anywhere else in the region.

What makes Beervana unique is its focus on collaboration and discovery. It’s not just about drinking beer — it’s about meeting brewers, exploring new styles and getting a glimpse of where global beer trends are heading.

For Australian beer fans, it’s also one of the easiest international beer festivals to attend, with Wellington only a short flight across the Tasman and plenty of Aussie breweries traditionally making the trip.

If beer tourism is on your bucket list, Beervana remains one of the must-do events in our part of the world.
