Billy Stitch
 |
Gin |
It all started having “business meetings” with my best friend on our balcony in Wollongong, NSW. We didn’t have a business. It was just an excuse to have a couple of G&Ts and talk about how we were going to make our millions. I was in the Navy, and was deployed to the Gulf for a rotation. On return, I started watching a lot of youtube videos, and concentrated on learning how things were made. During a “business meeting” while sipping on a G&T, we started discussing how we could make the drink better. So, I got my first still and started experimenting in the spare bathroom of the apartment. After some guidance from the University of YouTube and many, many, mistakes, we made a gin that was okay. I was posted to the West in 2021 to commission a new ship. Steph and I instantly fell in love with Western Australia and decided to set up our life here. When meeting new people I would bring up distilling (I was obsessed by this point). I would get taste notes, recipe suggestions and branding feedback from everyone who was willing to talk about it. After all that development, the feedback was so positive, Steph and I decided to pour our life savings into Billy Stitch and share our creations with the world. Cheers, Dave |

The Fermentary
 |
Fermented Foods |
The Fermentary is the culmination of a life-long passion of Sharon Flynn, author of Ferment for Good and Wild Drinks. Since 2014, the Fermentary has been primarily a manufacturer of award-winning sauerkraut and kimchi, supplying Australia's best restaurants and shops. Craving face-to-face connection with customers, friends and students as the world was slowly opening up following the pandemic, Sharon, with her daughters, opened up a space in Fitzroy North called Pickwick House. It has taken on a life of its own - a space to teach, create, and share Sharon's favourite ferments from around the world, and more. We ferment in small-batches, naturally culturing food and drinks, slowly and with minimal intervention. Our focus has always been sourcing simple, good ingredients and letting the slow ferment - making time and care/love very important ingredients that are, unfortunately, in short supply in our modern food industry. |

SOLBEVI

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. |
