Pint of Origin

The Catfish

New Zealand

Melbourne's honorary NZ beer bar is proud to once again play host to Pint of Origin New Zealand!

We're bringing 12 breweries over from the land of the long white cloud, including old favourites and some new faces. And we've got 12 rotating taps to showcase them!

We're kicking things off on Friday the 9th with a tap takeover from our friends at Liberty and Boneface, and we're running a QI: Beer Edition industry panel to go with it!

Saturday the 10th is our infamous Garage Party, featuring sixteen Garage Project beers and DJs all day!

Sundays we've got free live music in the front bar and $12 bloody marys to get you primed before hitting the taps

Join us Tuesday for Catfish Comedy - a lineup of laughs for only $15 - and Wednesday for three rounds of free trivia to go with your beers

Thursday we've got 20% off cans (AIBA pre-drinks/after-party?) and Friday 16th we're pouring the remaning NZ beer stock from judging at the Australian International Beer Awards!

We're open from noon daily so get in early and take advantage of Sparrows lunch special - $12 regular cheesesteaks with add-ons for only a buck, and 3 bucks for fries. And don't forget kumara fries and Kiwi dip all day long!

And if you're feeling all beered out (lol), we're running Kiwi Kocktail specials all month: grab yourself an L&P Shandy, a Pavlova Sour, or a Lamington Espresso Martini - pure New Zealand....

Watch this space for all the details and be sure to follow us on socials to stay up-to-date!
