Mr West

Whether you're in the mood for traditional ales from some of the UK's established breweries or cutting edge beers from some of the most innovative breweries on the planet, Mr West is the place to be during Pint of Origin 2026.

We'll be pouring everything from classic bitters to hop bombs and pastry sours, as well as tapping some exclusive collaborations created especially for the festival by Aussie and UK breweries.

As ever, we've got a sweet lineup of events throughout the ten days too. See you at the bar!
