Carwyn Cellars

The best ten days of the year are officially here, and for Pint of Origin USA 2026, we aren’t doing things by halves. We’re kicking off Day One with a massive double header event! 🔥

From the second the doors swing open at noon, we’re handing over 11 of our taps to the masters of the 'Appalachian Wild Ale': Fonta Flora from North Carolina 🌾 Known for their obsession with local agriculture and foraging, these beers are rustic, refined, and rarely seen in these parts. Our showcase includes multiple Barrel Aged and Barrel Fermented beers, easy sippers and bold IPAs, so you can enjoy the whole spectrum of flavours that these brewers showcase. Come taste why they’re one of the most respected names in the States. Tap list TBA.

In the Beer Garden Bar, we’ll be hosting international guest and award-winning cartoonist, Em Sauter (@pintsandpanels)! 🙌 Em is an Advanced Cicerone, international beer educator, and the artist behind those visual beer info and pairing guides that have been all over the beerternet over the past decade. She was chosen as one of the “40 under 40 Tastemakers” in 2016 by Wine Enthusiast and she continuously collaborates with different beverage media around the world.

Em will be bringing a full stash of books and prints available for purchase (the perfect addition to any home bar). Get the opportunity to talk about beer with this talented artist and educator, and have your merch signed by the legend herself! Be sure to make it to our Beer Garden between 4 and 7:30pm! ✍️

We’re hosting a big-ass boozy brunch here in our beer garden! Tickets include a proper American breakfast buffet spread loaded with diner staples, along with 5 different massive hitters by Cycle (think Barrel Aged Stouts & Barleywines), plus a welcome drink to kick things off!

Sweet, savoury, heavy, delicious & did we mention boozy?! The perfect way to start your inner-north PoO Crawl on Saturday!

This is literally your one & only chance to taste Cycle Brewing on Tap!

P.s. from midday, we're throwing the bar doors open to the general public - find a curated line-up of Cycle's finest barrel aged creations. But get in quick; once these kegs are gone, they're gone for good!

Lead by our Head Chef Steven Jap and our Beer Ambassador and Advance Cicerone Tito Orellana, this dinner is a sit-down, multi-course affair where the kitchen and the cellar work in perfect harmony. Expect a lineup of high-gravity US heavyweights, some fresh and adjunct-packed, others rich, aged, and barrel-heavy.

The food menu is designed to stand up to 12% ABV+ beasts, with all the adjuncts and barrel character that they might showcase.

Tickets include a 4 Course dinner paired to perfect with 6 Barleywines, with our in-house Beer Sommelier guiding you through this flavour journey. Expect a showcase of different breweries, including classics like Sierra Nevada, and for the first time ever at Carwyn Cellars, Revolution Brewing from Chicago.

Drekker Brewing from Fargo, North Dakota (yes, that Fargo!) is one of those breweries that keeps on challenging what "fruit in beer" actually means. After the huge success of breweries like RaR and 450 North on our taps, we know how much ya’ll crave that daily fruit fix in beer form and Drekker is one of the most hyped in delivering that in the whole of the US.

This isn't just a tap takeover, this is the Official Australian Launch of Drekker Brewing! For the first time ever, these midwest legends are landing on Australian soil, and we’ve got the motherlode babyyy.

We’re dedicating 8 taps to the very best of these Fargo vikings. Including some of their "Braaaaaaaains" Series (their iconic Smoothie Sours: thick and heavily fruited), and their "Chonk" Series (Sundae Sours that are basically dessert in a glass) plus some more fruity numbers including a Hazy IPA and a Seltzer!

If you know Allday Brewing, you probably know it’s the passion project from Pete and Dave, the masterminds behind Forward Hops Imports and the heroes that help our Pint of Origin event come to fruition. These guys source some of the freshest, rarest, and most exciting liquid from the US, so when they decide to brew their own collaborations, they go all out 🔥

On Friday, May 22nd, we’re turning the taps over to the Allday crew for their first ever "Collab-alooza" 🤝

We are officially launching two brand-new international collaborations from Allday. They've teamed up with two amazing breweries from the States (we’re keeping the specific names under wraps for now) and we'll be launching these at the Carwyn bar with Pete and Dave visiting us all the way from WA! 🛬

In true Carwyn and Allday/Forward Hops style, we'll be taking things to the next level. From 4pm sharp, the Allday legends are shouting a whole keg of collaboration beer for everyone in the bar! First in, best dressed. When the keg is kicked, the shout is over! 📣

We’re closing out Pint of Origin USA 2026 with a massive, 90s style street party blowout! For the final Saturday of the festival, we’re bringing the energy of a New York summer straight to High Street with two of the Big Apple’s most legendary heavyweights.

Evil Twin NYC (Queens) and Grimm Artisanal Ales (Brooklyn) are taking over the taps, and we’re turning the venue into a full-blown block party! As well as some street-art inspired activities and games (for all ages), here’s what to expect on the day:

🍺 15 TAP SHOWCASE

A lineup of 15 beers will be pouring on the day, 8 by Evil Twin & 7 by Grimm. Expect everything that makes these brewers special: big hoppy beers, fruited sours, barrel and oaked ales, adjuncted stouts and easy sippers. A wide spread of styles to satisfy all palates.

🔊 LOUD 90s HIP HOP VIBES

We’ll be blasting 2Pac, Biggie, Cypress Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang and more through the street-side speakers all day long!

🏀 FREE THROW COMP

Remember our free-throw comp from last year? We’ll it’s back! We’ll have a hoop set up for a basketball free-throw showdown with some very beery prizes for the skilled shooters. Start practicing today! Nothing but net, right? 😉

This is the last hurrah for PoO 2026. Let’s send the USA off in style. Wear your favourite sports jersey, bring your A-game to the free-throw line, and let’s drink some of the best beer NYC has to offer!
