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.

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.

Karkoo

Karkoo was established by Jane and Peter Rowat over 20 years ago as a wholesale garden centre in Mount George, which is still in operation today. With the demise of many small independent garden centres, in 2016 Jane and Peter were faced with the tough decision of closing their wholesale nursery or taking a risk and going retail.  Karkoo Blackwood was then opened and quickly became an iconic indoor plant, home/gift store and nursery. However, as our Blackwood site is owned by the Mitcham Council we do not have a longterm future but fortunately the Rowat's secured the future of Karkoo with the purchase of the Historic Johnston Brewery site in Oakbank, opening in 2021. Our stunning site in Oakbank spans across three acres filled with plants, garden art, home and giftware set amongst beautiful historic buildings and boasts a 150 seat Garden Café. In addition, with our wholesale nursery still in operation we are able to grow a lot of what we sell ourselves, keeping our prices low while sustainably growing plants that are healthy, strong and hardened off to our local conditions.
