South Island Beer Fest | Christchurch

The South Island Beer Festival is back for the fifteenth edition on Saturday 23 November 2019! Held at the historic Ilam Homestead, and with over 30 fantastic beers and ciders from craft breweries all over the South Island, great food, and Sammy tinkling the ivories, the South Island Beer Festival is always a great day out. So much so, it was voted Best Canterbury Beer Event by the members of the Society of Beer Advocates (SOBA) for the last 4 years (2015 – 2018).

Public Entry Tickets can be purchased online for $40 each, discounted down from the door price of $45.

PS - if you don't want to drink beer then don't worry! No entry charge for you! We have wine and non-alcoholic beverage options available for purchase and food vendors on site too.
