General Info
The Taranaki Beer Festival will showcase over 25 breweries showcasing of beer, cider & cocktails held at TSB Stadium, New Plymouth.
Alcohol purchases during the event are under the TSB Stadium liquor license. Essentially we operate like a normal venue or bar with you as the supplier and Taranaki Beer Festival the “venue or bar”.
Each public attendee will be supplied with an official event beer cup with a ‘tasting pour line’ (75ml: pricing ranging from $3 – $7) and ‘full pour line’ (250ml: pricing ranging from $5 – $12) .
We’re still cashless, but this time we’re going with Eftpos. Since we don’t charge a commission, you can bring your own terminal, so the money goes directly to you. If needed, we can also arrange to hire a terminal for you (hireage fee applies).
