This year's Pint Of Origin celebrations will highlight a selection of our favourite producers hailing from various regions across the United Kingdom! Join us for collaborative product launches, tap takeovers, and the much-anticipated Flight Night, a big crowd favourite.
Collaborations
Left Handed Giant x Mr West – 'Bushland Creature' Milk Stout
We have teamed up with Bristol-based Left Handed Giant to brew a luscious milk stout made with generous helpings of honeycomb before being cold-conditioned on cacao nibs. This beer riffs off LHG's beer Woodland Creatures, adding a distinctive Australian twist by taking inspiration from the iconic Aussie chocolate bar, Violet Crumble.
Cloudwater x Mr West x Banks - 'Mind The Gap' Hazy IPA
A Hazy IPA collaboration between Mr West and two of our favourite breweries, Cloudwater and Banks Brewing. This Hazy IPA is loaded with Citra, Galaxy & Vic Secret showcasing what both breweries do & use best. A juicy, tropical IPA jumping with passionfruit, peach & pineapple. Smooth, soft, juicy & definitely Pint worthy.
Chappy's Chips x Mr West - 'Pickled Onion' Mr West Exclusive
We have collaborated with Chappy's to create a beverage companion "chip" reminiscent of the pickled onion chips you would get in the UK. These are the kind of chips that'll make you sip, crunch, and dip, more than you thought was humanly possible. It's a crisp, fresh tangy chip with earthy, umami character. Chappy's kettle-cooked chips are proudly Melbourne made. Packed with flavour, light & crunchy. There's nothing else like them.
