Locally grown and distilled craft gin brand, Garden Grown Gin has launched Sydney’s first gin refilling station at artisanal bottle shop, The Drink Hive at The Cannery in Rosebery, where for a limited time customers can refill their empty gin bottles at a reduced cost, while reducing waste.
Grown Spirits’ Garden Grown Gin bottles can be refilled until the end of March. Rather than paying the full recommended retail price of $85, customers re-using their own bottle will pay $76 for a 700ml refill.
“Ten years ago, when we created our bottle we were mindful of unnecessary waste and designed it to have a life beyond just single use,” said Frank Bethel, co-owner of Grown Spirits. “That’s why we’ve always actively encouraged our customers to repurpose their bottle as a vase or water bottle. And now with this initiative, people can refill their bottle with our gin, saving waste while saving a bit of money.”
Gregoire Bertaud, owner of The Drink Hive said, “Sustainability is key for our business and we are beyond thrilled to partner with Grown Spirits to launch the first refill station in Sydney with their award-winning Garden Grown gin.”
While refillable options for wine and beer have been gaining momentum in recent years, this is the first time gin will be offered to Sydney customers in this way.
The Gin Refill Station will run until 31 March at The Drink Hive, The Cannery, 61-71 Mentmore Avenue, Rosebery, NSW 2018. Click here to check for opening hours.
