The offer of beer and a bite has proved so popular organisers of the Tutukaka Coast Boutique Beer Festival are considering doubling the size. The third annual festival kicked off on Saturday, attracting 500 people. Organiser Mel Miller said the event was a huge hit, with tickets selling out two days before. With their tickets in hand, punters were able to redeem a beer and a bite from three venues and gain access to the beer tent, which housed eight vendors. Ms Miller said the festival completed a month of events in the Tutukaka Coast Winter Festival. There were plans to double ticket sales next year. Photographer Tania Whyte went along to capture the fun.
