Our story.

Our story begins with a distinguished lineage of artisans who, in the early 1900s, devoted themselves to the meticulous craft of spirit production in Latvia and Germany. With each batch, they infused their creations with passion and precision, perfecting the intricate art of alcohol manufacturing. Little did they realise that their heartfelt endeavours would lay the cornerstone of a legacy destined to endure through the ages, transcending generations with its rich heritage.

Among them was Henry Peeters, their most trusted apprentice and eldest son, whose profound reverence for the craft and insatiable thirst for knowledge set him apart. Leaving behind his beloved Germany, he embarked on a transformative journey to Australia, eager to intertwine his heritage with this land of opportunity. At Carlton and United Brewery in Geelong, Henry served as head brewer for 25 years, before founding the Geelong Brewing Co., the largest brewery in Victoria second to CUB, where he left an indelible mark on the brewing landscape for the next quarter-century.

Under Henry’s vigilant mentorship in the family business, his son Adrian Peeters, our founder mastered the delicate balance of ingredients and the nuances of fermentation that enliven their spirits. Henry instilled in Adrian not only technical expertise but also a profound respect for the craft, emphasising that patience, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to quality are its essential cornerstones.
