It all began in 2009, in a tiny workshop in Hammersmith, London. Our Founders, Sam, Fairfax and Jared had an unwavering belief in things well made - the way they used to be, the way they should be. Their mission was simple - to bring a London Dry Gin of truly uncompromising quality and character back to the city where it first earned its name. Smooth enough for a Martini, bold enough for a G&T, our London Dry Gin is truly something to behold. Every bottle of Sipsmith is hand crafted in genuinely small batches. Every drop of every batch is lovingly laboured over by hand, by our dedicated Distillers. No regimented timings, no automatic cuts, just a craftsman’s flair and a passion for gin well made. We believe this is the only way to craft spirits of this quality. We have since added to our collection a selection of our talented distillers' most delicious experimental gins, all inspired by our London Dry recipe, such as our Lemon Drizzle Gin and Sloe Gin. Each hand crafted gin is lovingly laboured in small batches in our London Distillery – the way it used to be, the way we believe it should be.
4 Pines is a proudly Australian brewery born on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, crafting great-tasting beer with purpose, award winning beer, and good times at its core.
We’ve come a long way since we first opened our microbrewery in 2008. Our beers have a lot of local love, but we are now enjoyed nationally. Seventeen 4 Pines venues now span up and down the east coast and you can find us in bottle shop fridges and on tap in pubs across the country.
Whilst many things have changed, our vision has always been to ‘Brew Better’ and as each year goes on, we’re learning new ways to grow, considering our people, the planet & our community. That’s why we are a B-Corp certified business, proud ‘1% for the Planet’ member and a certified top 50 ‘Great Places to Work Australia’.
Despite cranking out a ton of beer (nearly 400 million pints), quality remains the most important thing to us. We make beers we want to drink and that our mates would be proud of. It’s the reason why we’ve been consistently awarded by punters and our peers.
All things considered, what we love the most is to see people come together and enjoy our beer. So, crack a tin or pour a pint and say cheers to all that good stuff.
