Spirit Making Workshop

Still Spirits X Better Brewer Air Still Pro Workshop

Join us for 2 hours on Saturday October 11th from 1-3pm as we explore the ease and joy of crafting your own unique and delicious drinks at home.

✅ Do you enjoy a drink but would prefer to know what's in it?

✅ Do preservatives, additives and hang overs kill the enjoyment of a couple of drinks with friends?

✅ Maybe you'd love to save money every weekend, every camping trip, every family gathering or event by making your own spirits rather than buying them at a premium?

✅ Would you love to be able to make your own neutral spirits to use for making tinctures, herbal medicines, or even hand sanitisers? 

✅ How about making your own custom gin?

✅ Or would you just love to be a little more self sufficient and skilled, and able to share your new passion with friends or neighbours?

You will learn all of this and more in our comprehensive workshop that will teach you how to go from absolute beginner to spirit making star.
