Frequently asked questions
Do you have wine or beer?
Yes! We have a small selection of beer and wine available. Our select changes often, and is always sourced from Queensland Artisan producers.
Can I do a gin tasting?
Yes! You can order a gin tasting board from our menu anytime while we are open.
Alternatively, book a distillery tour for a full experience and spirit tasting.
Can I bring my dog?
Of course! At the distillery, we love dogs. We only ask that you keep them on a lead, and clean up after them.
Do you have live music?
Yes! We have local musicians playing every Saturday afternoon, and on the occasional Sunday. You can check out who is playing on our socials.
What if myself or my friends don't drink gin?
Don't worry, we've got you!
Our distillery produces everything we make, including award-winning gin, whiskey, vodka, coffee liqueurs, and monthly limited releases.
We also make all of the spirits, syrups and garnishes for each of our cocktails, creating a complete and carefully curated menu for all to enjoy. Just ask us!
Do you serve mocktails?
Of course! We can customise a mocktail to suit your favourite flavours, or adjust most of our menu to create a non-alcoholic version. No one has to miss out.
