Double Vision Brewing Beer Match picks

To celebrate International Friendship Day, we've teamed up with our mates at Double Vision Brewing to showcase some of their top burger picks with beer matches — because, what's a better pairing than a burger and a brew?

Double Vision Brewing started off as a brewery determined to brew 'Beers with Character' and take the pretentiousness out of craft beer. The reason being that craft beer is for everyone, and isn't just about home-brewers and beer-nerds. Great beer should be for everyone, and a standard expectation in your fridge for you and your mates to share.

The Double Vision Brewing team.

The Double Vision Brewing team at their new Island Bay venue: Dub Hub.

Speaking of mates, DVB was started by four friends who worked together and decided to get into brewing. Their first vision: make delicious beer. Their second vision: make delicious beer for everyone.

What better people to get into business with than your best friends who have become your brew family? While they have advanced from a 100L brew kit in their garage to their full-scale brewery in Miramar, they never lost sight of their core values.

In honour of International Friendship Day, let's raise a glass to those that keep us going through thick and thin.

This year promises to be even bigger, with more tacos, more vendors, more beers, more entertainment and more good times.

Five taco specialists from across the country will be serving a variety of tacos inspired by flavours from across Mexico. Expect delicious bites from favourites like Hot Like A Mexican, Viva Mexico, The Food Lab and more. Supported by the Mexican Embassy in Aotearoa you'll experience Latin DJs pumping out the best tunes and performers from local Mexican community groups, bringing authentic sounds, sights and energy to the day. No need to pack your bags for a long-haul flight – experience Mexico right here in your own backyard. It’s pay-as-you-go, with tacos and beer both served fresh.
