Brews and barbecue were the order of the day at Coronet Peak on Saturday.
About 400 people headed up the hill throughout the day for the second Craft Beer & BBQ Summit, featuring 11 breweries and several different food vendors, serving up an array of slow-cooked meats.
Coronet summer operations manager Tim McCormick said it was the second time the event had been held — the first was in 2021, but Covid restrictions scuppered an attempt to hold it last year.

A second aim was to further promote Coronet Peak as a summer venue, given that was "still pretty new", he said.
Upcoming events included this weekend’s mountain bike national championships, and a "mini festival", dubbed Day For It, on March 11, featuring Tiki Tane and Sola Rosa.
