Pint of Origin Passports are a means of recording your adventures through the festival as well as your passage to bonus beers. Dedicated travellers will be rewarded with a bonus when they buy at beer at their sixth, 12th and 18th venues – should you make it that far.
That's now all, however: there's prizes up for grabs too.
As in 2024 we've created five mini-Crawls: complete any of them and you'll go into a prize draw too.
We'll be unveiling the prizes – worth thousands of dollars – as the festival approaches. This means you could win by visiting as few as four venues – and that you'll have six chances to win if you complete the set.
The 2025 Pint of Origin Mini-Crawls
There are plenty of festival attendees who love the challenge of visiting every Pint of Origin venue over the ten days, but what if your time is limited?
Even if you've just got an evening or arvo free, you could experience the magic of #PoO25 and be eligible for a prize via one of these routes.
- WEST: Mr West, Benchwarmer, Westside Ale Works & The Lincoln
- BRUNSWICK: Miss Moses, The Woodlands Hotel, CoConspirators Brewpub, Sporting Club Hotel & Bridge Road Brewers Brunswick
- THE 86 TRAM: The Catfish, Near & Far, Beermash, Molly Rose & Carwyn Cellars
- CENTRAL: Whitehart, Heartbreaker, Whisky & Alement & Captain Melville
- SOUTH & EAST: Freddie Wimpoles, Windsor Alehouse, The Royston, The Park & Far Side Beers
Once you've signed up for a Passport, you'll be able to see how many venues you've ticked off in each Mini-Crawl, as well as which venues you've visited and when. After the closing weekend, we'll draw the winners.
How Do Passports Work?
- Sign up by entering your name, email address, and a password. You can upload a photo too.
- This brings your personalised #PoO25 Passport to life within the site.
- When the festival starts on May 9, each time you buy your first beer at a #PoO25 venue, ask to scan their unique QR code.
- Each scan gives you a stamp in your passport. You can only scan once at each venue.
- As long as you don't sign out of pintoforigin.com, you'll remain logged in for the purposes of collecting stamps.
- When you buy a beer at your sixth, 12th and 18th venues, you'll receive a bonus drink. *NB Details of each venue's bonus offering will appear in your Passport once you receive the relevant stamp.
- Of course, please drink responsibly. Pint of Origin runs for ten days so there's plenty of time to get out and enjoy everything the festival has to offer!
- We'll also be running a Passport Prize Draw during the festival. Details below.
