About 450 people attended the second annual festival at the Wanaka Showgrounds. Festival-goers were able to taste about 25-30 different brews from eight breweries, including six from Wanaka. Festival founder Ben Clark said the small enclosed space of the festival was all part of the aesthetic they were trying to achieve. He said the crowd had had a really good time in a laid-back atmosphere.
