Liquorland announced as a major sponsor partner for 2013 Beervana

David Cryer, Beervana festival owner and director, is pleased to announce Liquorland as a major sponsor for Beervana 2013, being held in Wellington on 9 and 10 August.

"It's really pleasing to welcome Liquorland as our new retail liquor sponsor for Beervana 2013 and beyond,” says David Cryer. “For a long time now, a number of Liquorland stores have played a key role in supporting the development and ever increasing availability of craft beers throughout New Zealand. Beervana is particularly keen to partner with Liquorland as they begin a new phase and commitment to the expansion of New Zealand craft beer across all of their 70+ stores."

"In the summer months of January to March, 2013 craft beer volume grew by over 40% in retail liquor versus the previous year. Beervana is fully committed to continue playing a lead role in realising new opportunities and on-going growth for our craft brewers, and having craft beer more readily available for discerning beer drinkers."

The 12th annual Beervana is being held on August 9 and 10 at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.

The premier celebration of craft beer in New Zealand, last year’s festival had 297 brews on offer from 96 breweries.

Tickets are $45 and will be available from 4th June at Ticketek.
