The Catfish is one of the busiest pubs each and every PoO, and with GABS back at The Royal Exhibition Building for 2022, we don't plan for this to be a quiet one! Returning as the home of Kiwi beer, we'll be bringing you a range of limited edition brews from all your faves and up-and-comers, as well as collabs, brewer chats, rare tastings, venue takeovers and plenty of live music.
We're kicking things off with a first pour of Garage Project Hazy Daze on the Friday night, plus a huuuuuge Garage Project Garage Party on the Saturday, featuring a full tap takeover showcasing old favourites, new favourites and some special surprises.
Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteaks will be open from noon till late for the duration of the festival, slinging the best steaks and sides this side of the equator.
Further announcements still to come, including special guests, live music, and a salivating line-up of kegged, canned, and bottled brews from the likes of:
- 8 Wired
- Deep Creek
- Duncans
- Garage Project
- Hallertau
- Urbanaut
- Bach
- Double Vision
- Liberty
- Brothers
And more!
Ain't no party like a Catfish party – join us for NZ Pint of Origin!
