First held in 2021 at the Hop garden the Battle of the breweries involved several breweries such as Parrotdog, Boneface, Deep creek and Tuatara. It was an event not to be missed each time, with some of the brewery teams attending the event offering all of you beer geeks the opportunity to have a chat about what’s brewing in the background. The battle of the breweries was a fun way to get everyone together in a relax and playful environment. So we thought it was time to do it again!

After Abandoned brewery victory against Mean doses brewery on the first round of the battle, it's time to see who will go with them to the semi-final.

This time, Double Vision brewing company based in Miramar is going against Bayland's brewery based in Petone for a coast to coast show off!

Will the Whimsical Double vision brewing company be able to fight Bayland’s brewery’s dark force?

YOU decide!

Which one will be your favourite? Will you be able to guess what brewery is behind those delectable brews?

Each brewery will put forward their best IPA and Hazy for you to blind test.

Score cards will be handed to you to score your tasting and the winner will be announced the day after on our social media. The brewery will stay in the competition with Abandoned brewery.

Some epic merch will also be up for grabs! Keep an eye on the back of your score card.
