Celebrating rarity at the Rare Beer Challenge 2023

None

The Rare Beer Challenge is an annual event to raise awareness and funds for Rare Disorders NZ. Craft breweries from around the motu are invited to come up with their version of a rare beer using rare ingredients and unusual brewing techniques. An esteemed panel of judges votes for the best ‘rare’ beers with top marks going to innovative breweries who are able to make the connection to rare disorders through their beer and marketing efforts.

Rare Beer new comers Alibi Brewing Company took out 2nd place with A heart Full of Cherries Barrel Blended Tart Ale aged on Cherries. Last year’s winner Choice Bros Brewing took out 3rd place with SAKE BOMB Ginjo Beer.

The night was a resounding success with a packed venue and a record $17,385 raised for Rare Disorders NZ. Aucklanders were also treated to a taste of rare with 16 TUN pouring Rare Beers over the weekend.

The Rare Beer Challenge is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate rarity and for the wider community to come together and show their support for rare in a lighthearted, unique way.
