78 Degrees Distillery
78 Degrees Distillery was founded in 2014 by winemaker Sacha La Forgia. Sacha launched 78˚ Classic Gin in 2015, a product that quickly gained a reputation as a high-quality small-batch gin showing unique Australian characteristics. 78°c is the boiling point of ethanol, water boils at 100°c so 78° is the magic number that lets us distil. For our gin all our botanicals are extracted at 78°c, which is much lower than other distilleries. This allows us the ability to extract much brighter notes and truly capture the essence of the botanicals that we distil. In December 2018, 78 Degrees Distillery moved into its new home, at Lot 100 in the beautiful Adelaide Hills region of South Australia. The Lot 100 site is home to the state-of-the-art distillery and restaurant, with ample space to grow and utilise the land around it. As 78 Degrees continues to experiment, research and utilise uniquely Australian botanicals, the range has expanded to include an exciting collection of gins, vermouths, aperitifs, vodka, and Australian Whiskey. With an enviable number of awards and accolades, 78 Degrees continues to push traditional boundaries and raise the benchmark of craft spirits, all with a uniquely Australian signature.
Mismatch Brewing co
Our story starts exactly the same as every other craft brewer’s or brewery’s story ... over a few beers in a backyard. With quality, balance, and value at the core of the brand, the team at Mismatch wanted to create beers that not only satisfied the palates of craft beer drinkers but would also attract new drinkers to this growing segment of the industry. Formed in 2013, Mismatch Brewing Co started out as a gypsy brewer, utilising the excess space in other breweries to facilitate its growth, all while supporting those breweries that had made the investment in their own equipment. In 2017, Mismatch took its next big leap and built its own brewery, finding a home in the Adelaide Hills at Hay Valley. Today, Mismatch is still committed to producing products that can be enjoyed by all drinkers, with consistency and sustainability underpinning their core values.
Five Eleven Distilling
Nestled in the scenic Adelaide foothills, Five Eleven Distilling stands as a proud family-run beacon of grain-to-bottle spirit making. Our dedication to authenticity and sustainability drives our partnerships with local producers, allowing us to harness the rich, natural bounty of South Australia. Each bottle we craft is not just a spirit; it's a celebration of heritage and a commitment to our land, capturing the unique essence of our beloved region.
