A bar with no-beer opens in Melbourne
Having first developed a Sapiir, an expertly crafted, gin-inspired,
botanical driven, non-alc 'spirit’, comes an Australian first - a permanently
non-alcoholic bar, Brunswick Aces Bar, in Melbourne
With a menu of nearly 100 drinks, all but one without alcohol, the bar
creates a luxurious space to socialise, not just drink.
Brunswick Aces is capitalising on the explosion of demand for non-alc beer, wine,
and spirits, with the fledging market doubling in the last 12 months. With producers entering the market in impressive numbers, the non-alcohlic market appears destined to continue to flourish, changing the way we drink forever.
