The Dunedin Craft Beer & Food Festival is back for 2026 and festival director Jason Schroeder joins us for a preview of what's shaping up to be one of the South's biggest weekends. We chat about the festival's growth since its beginnings in 2013, the new two-day format, the impressive music lineup, and why the event has become a must-do on the southern calendar. Plus, what first-time attendees can expect, the most popular ticket options, and why it's still one of the best opportunities to discover craft breweries from around New Zealand.
