We're bringing all the great things from the American craft beer industry: Complex barrel fermented sours & wild ales, rich barrel aged stouts and refreshing and bold hop-forward brews. New breweries, some classic ones, and the return of some amazing breweries we’ve only seen little of so far!
FRI 20 MAY • Forward Hops Friday
How: just roll on in!
Kicking off Pint of Origin with a bang, our friends at Forward Hops will be taking over our taps and featuring absolute gold from Finback Brewery (Queens NY), Celestial Beerworks (Austin TX), Mortalis Brewing (Avon NY) and Parish Brewing (Broussard LA). Expect loads of hazy/hoppy brews, some dark ales and smoothie-like treats!
SAT 22 MAY • Casa Agria Australian Launch
How: just roll on in!
Casa Agria is a brewer-owned boutique brewery that’s been operating in Oxnard, CA since 2015. These folks have a focus on mixed fermentation farmhouse style ales, barrel aged wild ales and yeast driven IPAs, and they’ve been gathering a lot of attention in the California-beer scene for the past few years!
We are absolutely gleeful to have Casa Agria on tap for the first time in Australia for Pint of Origin! Not only we’ll have 5 delicious beers on tap, we will also have 7 packaged beers available for those who want to be the first ones in the country to try these “specialty ales”.
TUES 24 & WED 25 MAY • Carwyn Favourites
How: Ticketed | $95 + BF | 7pm - 9:30pm
Coming into our 5th Pint of Origin USA we’ve decided to do something special, open up our cellars and tap a few great beers for you all! On Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th we’re busting out "Carwyn Favourites"; a selection some of our most loved breweries and beers from over the years!
We’ll have exclusive beers on tap from one of the breweries the Bens were most impressed with in their 2019 USA trip: The Referend Bier Blendery, a few barrel aged sours from Cascade Brewing and The Rare Barrel. Adjunct heavy Stouts from Adroit Theory and Alesmith Brewing, and some other incredible drops from Parish Brewing , Deschutes and Burley Oak.
Diving into many styles, this showcase is also a reflection of how the American Beer Industry has evolved and why they deserve the status of "beer mecca".
THURS 26 & FRI 27 MAY • New York State of Mind
How: just roll on in!
Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind. One of the most influential cities for American craft beer is taking over our taps! With drops from some very hyped and influential breweries, and of course LOTS of New England/Hazy IPAs from the Big Apple.
We'll be showcasing Barrier Brewing Co, Equilibrium, Single Cut and Evil Twin Brewing.
SAT 28 MAY • Jester King Farm-a-palooza
How: just roll on in!
The absolute KING of farmhouse and wild ales in the USA 👑 18 taps of delicious and funky brews to finish Pint of Origin with a BANG!
Jester King have been around since 2010 but have been opening the minds of beer drinkers in America (and subsequently the world) since 2013, when they made the decision to abandon pure culture fermentation and focus exclusively on mixed culture beer, with that year being also the first time they used a coolship to make a 100% spontaneously fermented beer.
