All you need to know about Dish's favourite time of the year - the Dunedin Craft Beer and Food Festival

It's only in its second year, yet it's already set to be the best food and drink event Dunedin's ever seen. Bringing together breweries making their debut, cameo or staple appearances, the Dunedin Craft Beer and Food Festival is a chance to sample a giant range of craft beer from all over New Zealand and beyond.

Dunedin and Otago favourites such as Emerson's, Green Man, Velvet Wor and McDuffsall will be making their presence felt, whilst a Wellington and Auckland contigency including the likes of Steam Brewery, Funk Estate and Garage Project will bring brews as yet untasted in the southern city. Premium international craft beer importer, Beer Without Borders, will be represented, ensuring the best international beers are also available to try. 

Head over to the Dunedin Craft Beer Fest Facebook page for up to date information, maps and guides to the big day.

The festival takes place this Saturday 4th October from 12pm-7pm at Forysth Barr Stadium. Tickets (which this year are special pre-loaded wristbands) can be bought in advance now from ticket direct, and cost $30 for adults (concessions available).
