Pint of Origin GBW Events: May 11

Pint of Origin has been The Crafty Pint’s corner of Good Beer Week since 2012.

It’s there to showcase the best beers from Australia and the rest of the world, with bars and pubs across Melbourne welcoming scores of brewers through their doors too.

As well as weeklong tap takeovers, venues are celebrating with a bunch of pop-up events and here's what's on the agenda for Saturday, May 11:

  • Mr West. Origin of Darkness - Barrel Aged Imperial Stout Masterclass. Dive into the dark world of Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with an epic masterclass hosted by Canada's Collective arts. 
  • The Park. Queensland Extravaganza. The Park is kicking off Queensland Pint of Origin in style with a jaw dropping, lip smacking 18 tap takeover and day full of prize giveaways, fun and games and guaranteed good times. 
  • Terminus Hotel. One Night Keg Stand. The crew at the North Fitzroy pub is launching 16 beers simultaneously from some of Melbourne's finest breweries. 
  • Carwyn Cellars. Into the Abyss - An Epic Journey into the Cellars of Deschutes. Join Carwyn on an epic journey into the Cellars of the mighty Deschutes Brewery, including a masterclass with assistant brewmaster Ryan Kern.
  • The Catfish. Garage Project Full Venue Takeover. No New Zealand Pint of Origin would be complete without a swag of Garage Project beers on offer, so The Catty kicked have it up a notched and are turning over the entire venue for one night only.
