pint of origin 2026

15 – 24 May
South of the Yarra

Pint of Origin is back and Freddie’s is pouring for South of the Yarra.

We’re loading up 14 taps and a hand pump with a very good-looking lineup of local beers, then throwing a week of gigs, trivia, boilermakers, burgers, pool and general Freddie’s behaviour around it.

They’re here for a good time, not a long time. Grab ’em while you can.

10 DAYS. 14 TAPS. PLENTY ON.

From hoppy IPAs and crisp pales to dark lagers, porters, stouts and a hand-pumped Yorkshire Pale, we’ve got the good stuff flowing from Friday 15 May to Sunday 24 May.

Not a beer nerd? No stress. Come for the music, the burgers, the trivia, the pool comp, the party, or just a very decent pint.

Stay for the good times. Leave when the lights come on.
