Akasha Brewing
 |
Craft Beer |
After developing a passion for American-style, hop-forward beers, Dave Padden founded Akasha Brewing in 2015. From the outset, the mission for Akasha was simple: create high quality, hop-forward beers and aim to have as many people as possible experience them. With that in mind, Dave released Freshwater Pale Ale in April 2015 and introduced Akasha to the world. Popularity for that beer soared (and it remains Akasha’s most popular beer to this day) and by October of 2015, Dave and his relatively small team had built their very own brewery in Five Dock and soon after launched our first venue – the Akasha Taproom. The next few years saw Akasha continually grow and develop its reputation as one of the country’s top independent craft breweries. Midway through 2020 – a little over five years from that first brew – Akasha rebranded to show how the mighty hop watches over everything the brewery does. The new look, featuring an Illuminati inspired eye, aimed to reflect the almost spiritual component of drinking fantastic beer, while also capturing the brewery’s desire to open the doorway to great beer and let others inside. In 2022, Akasha reached another milestone in its history, undertaking a crowdfunding campaign which raised over $1.6 million. The purpose of this raise was to enable further expansion, increase our brand awareness and create our Inner Circle – a group of over 500 passionate Akasha fans turned shareholders who all subsequently became brand ambassadors. |

LISTO

Margarita Mix |
Stevie and I have been shaking margs for friends and family for as long as we can remember (we even used to have our own Marg Cart!). At the end of 2019 we set off on a big trip to the US and Mexico. While away, we had lots of requests for our margarita recipe. There wasn’t much to it: lime juice, agave nectar, a little water and a decent tequila. Easy to make but, to be frank, the lime juicing, agave sourcing, measuring and mess was a bit of a pain. Cue LISTO: an authentic, easy as Tommy’s Margarita mix that makes shaking a round of margs a breeze. LISTO officially started in my Dad’s kitchen in Sydney. It was a family affair, roping in anyone that was willing for labelling, pouring and deliveries. We’ve grown a bit since then but we’re still making a mix we’re bloody proud of. Real margs, good ingredients with plenty of love. Cheers! Beck |

Beverages |
Our story begins with two second-generation Italians from the north (Veneto). Growing up, we both shared a love for our families' recipes from Italy, especially the homemade Limoncello. We realized that our passion for Limoncello could be something more and decided to create a business to bring our beloved family recipe in an easy-to-drink can around the globe. We are thrilled to share Australia's first ever Limoncello Spritz in a can with you and invite you to savour the taste of Italy in every sip. |
