Pint of Origin at Sydney Craft Beer Week

Brainchild of online craft beer magazine The Crafty Pint, Pint of Origin has been a feature of Melbourne's Good Beer Week for five years – and now it’s making its Sydney Craft Beer Week debut. 

The concept is simple. Six Sydney beer venues become a host for a particular state's brewers (with ACT appearing within New South Wales) for the duration of the festival (October 22-30).

The DOG Hotel, Randwick – NSW & ACT

Quarryman's Hotel, Pyrmont – Victoria

Royal Albert Hotel, Surry Hills – Western Australia

The Welcome Hotel, Rozelle – Queensland

Empire Hotel, Annandale – Tasmania

Forest Lodge Hotel, Forest Lodge – South Australia

And if you want someone to get you around from venue to venue, Dave's Brewery Tours is running shuttle buses. Get your bus pass and PoO Bus T-shirt from any of the six venues before SCBW kicks off.
