Our 2026 Christchurch Breweries Festival is shaping up to be a great one this Saturday, Nov 7th.

Our next brewery highlight hits wigrambrewingco. A trip abroad hightened Paul's curiosity about craft b**r, and after a few garage brews, he and Caroline opened the doors to Wigram Brewing Company in 2003. The taproom and brewery are still family owned/ operated, and if you want to know about the history of brewing/breweries/brewers of CHCH, we suggest you stop in and have a chat with Paul while putting down a delicious pint or two. Even Rover can get in on the action with a specialty Dog B**r 🐶.

Ce***za Sunday down here at 55 Riccarton Rd. Added a cheeky little b**r from Craft Brewery in Wānaka Head in the Sand Ce***za and a chilli pepper l***r from Volstead Brewing Co. We've also mixed up a refreshing michelada for today and a special Siesta daiquiri style margarita 🤔. And of course these all pair incredibly well with the menu from The Food Dude.

Don't forget about our 2026 Christchurch Breweries Festival next Saturday 🥰 Tickets available via Eventfinda

Like, did we wait to post about Ghost Brewing Co. for this specific date? We'll, it wasn't planned-planned, but here we are. Ghost Brewing has the right idea with sharing the load with various breweries around Ōtautahi. We look forward to seeing what they have in store for our 2026 Christchurch Breweries Festival on Nov 7th.

Stealing hearts of NZ craft b**r drinkers from the reach of Tai Tapu, thiefbrewing is next up on our 2026 Christchurch Breweries Festival line up for Nov 7th.

We love tapping these unapologetic award winning b**rs in the bar, and we are never disappointed. Also, this is a case where their incredibly beautiful artwork matches the creativity of what is inside 😘

Next on the 2026 Christchurch Breweries Festival line up is new kid on the New Brighton block, Southpaw Brewing & Taproom.

Take it easy, just seeing if you're paying attention. Southpaw has been brewing award winning b**r since forever, or at least 2016. Starting up waaaay across town in Hornby, this crew finally brought the taps (and brewery) AND the flavour home to New Brighton in 2025. Family owned and operated by Cam, Penny, and biz partner Hayden, with outstanding bar service from Georgia, Southpaw is what it is all about - hard work, showing up, and a great pint. (the hot chips are pretty good, too).

Rolling on with Renaissance Brewing in the line up for our 2026 Christchurch Breweries Festival on Nov 7th.

Born and bred in the Marlborough region, Renaissance Brewing began with a passion for traditional brewing and b**r styles. The brewery called Blenheim home for 18 years before heading south to Christchurch in 2023. Their location might have changed, but their passion for a quality pint remains strong.

Concept Brewing L***r is our $12 b**r of the week, and The Food Dude is back on Thursday.

At the end of this week, we have Ce***za Sunday in the taproom. The sun should be back out over the weekend, and we thought we'd spice things up some michelada, margaritas, and Mexican l***r. Just some chill vibes to help you recover from the night before and The Food Dude will be serving up his latest creations. That Smash Avo Tostada kept selling out last week 🥳.

🍻 2026 Christchurch Breweries Festival 🍺 who is stepping up next on our brewery list?

A lot of great breweries start in a garage, just like Eruption Brewing in 2012. They've been brewing world class b**rs in the port town of Lyttelton in the restored BNZ building since 2017. Scotty and the team do a fantastic job of having various styles on tap for various palates. We look forward to seeing what they are bringing to Volstead.

Next on our list for the 2026 Christchurch Breweries Festival on Nov 7th is family owned and operated Cassels Brewing Co. Cassels has been celebrated for winning national and international b**r awards many times over since 2009. From their legendary Milk Stout to their way-too-easy drink Double Nectaron IPA, this family make it look easy, but it's not 😁. They also provide Cantabrians with a great spot to unwind, relax, and share pints with friends and family at their The Brewery location in the The Tannery.
