Wellington is the best place in New Zealand for tourists to have a pint, according to a new Lonely Planet guide written specifically for beer-lovers.
A worldwide network of travel writers and beer journalists have contributed to the guide, covering the best bars and breweries in 30 countries.
Wellington, Melbourne and Perth are the pick of the Oceania region, the book says.
"Wellington has an extremely strong array of breweries and craft beer bars, making it a compact and cool city to tour.''
Melbourne is Australia's "ale capital'' while Perth is home to some of Australia's first craft brewers, the book said.
Dunedin, Auckland, Blenheim and Hamilton were also highlighted as beer-related spots to visit in New Zealand.
