Next up for Beech Tree Dark Nights… 🍺🔥

Joining the lineup is Garage Project

What started in a tiny former petrol station in Wellington has grown into one of New Zealand’s most influential craft breweries.

With countless awards, hundreds of unique releases, and a cult following of beer lovers, they’re a brewery that needs little introduction.

Last year’s champions are back… 🏆🍺

Joining Dark Nights once again is Two Thumb Brewing Co.

Founded in Timaru in 2014, Two Thumb has grown from a small South Canterbury brewery into a craft beer powerhouse, with taprooms across the South Island and a reputation for brewing beers that keep people coming back for more.

And they’re returning with bragging rights — taking out 1st place in last year’s People’s Choice voting at Dark Nights. 👑

Dark Nights just got a little more local… Searchlight Brewery 🍺🏔️

Brewed in the heart of Queenstown, Searchlight has become a favourite among locals for beers that are fresh, flavour-packed, and dangerously easy to go back for “just one more.”

Named after the old gold mining searchlights that once lit up the region, the brewery leans hard into its mountain-town roots — combining adventure, community, and seriously good beer.

For Dark Nights, the locals are bringing the goods.
