IS BEER THE NEW WINE?
(of course it is…)

 The Brewers Guild of New Zealand is proud to announce their partnership with premium event company – Clockwork (Winners of the 2007 Corporate Events Guide People’s Choice Award for Best Conference & Event Organisers).

 With the emphasis on showcasing the best in beer, the Brewers Guild of New Zealand is confident that, with Clockwork on board, this years’ much anticipated BrewNZ Beer Festival and Awards Evening will be bigger and better than ever before!  This years event will be looking to attract female and males alike; through  well known chefs educating guests on food and beer matches, opportunities to speak with the brewers themselves, learning about the health benefits and of course enjoying good company with fellow connoisseurs and about to be connoisseurs.  Because, of course, Beer is the new Wine…

The dates for this year’s events are September 2008 and will be held in Wellington.  Details on sponsorship packages, programme and ticket sales will be available soon.  However, if you are interested in sponsoring these events, please phone Lisa Garrity at Clockwork on 0800 CLOCKWORK.
