Meet The Maker. Your non-alcoholic drinks podcast

In this episode, I chat to Samantha Manning, Founder of Monday Distillery and Lunae Sparkling. Sam and I go way back, and Monday has been a pivotal part of my sober journey, the Paloma and G&T featuring on high rotation in the Dry but Wet drinks fridge.
We chat through Sam's motivations behind creating two such unique drinks brands, what's so important to her and why. We hear about her humble beginnings brewing tea on her kitchen stove top.
Thanks to Sam, we can enjoy guilt free, alcohol free, sugar free but flavour FULL non-alcoholic cocktails that are ready to pour over ice. This is a really fun chat and a great beginning to our Meet the Maker storytelling journey.

Today on the podcast I am joined by Aaron Trotman, founder of NON. NON isa Melbourne made range of 7 alcohol free drink alternatives that seek to really redefine the wine occasion. With challenging flavour profiles such as Tomato Water and Basil and Beetroot and Sancho, NON’s range is anything but ordinary. NON are the non-alcoholic darlings of the Melbourne fine dining scene, turning up on Non-alc pairing menus and on lists at the best establishments like Supernormal, Nomad and of course the Victoria Hotel, Footscray.

NON is bold and unlike anything you have ever tried before.

We learn what exactly goes into a bottle of Non and how Aaron landed on such a unique offer. From humble origins on a kitchen stove in a 20L pot and a kitchen grade dehydrator to world domination.

In this episode I talk to Moa Gürbüzer, founder and CEO of Oddbird, a Swedish based non-alcoholic wine brand that brings us some of the best dealcoholized wines on the planet. If you have not yet tried their Blanc de Blancs or Spumante, you MUST!
Moa’s story of social worker to wine maker is truly inspirational, as is the brand's focus and genuine commitment to creating the best quality products, Liberated from Alcohol.

Moa is a woman on a mission. Her big goal is for an alcohol free society by 2097. And Moa is tackling that goal one step at a time. We get some hot takes on what's to come from Odd Bird in 2022 and why we should all be sick of ethanol after rubbing it on our hands for the last 2 years.

"We should be Odd Birds, all of us!"
