Craft Cartel Liquor opened its craft beer speciality store in Sydney’s western suburbs in 1998. The brainchild of Beer Enthusiast, Journalist and 2GB’s Food & Wine Show Host, Ben Malouf, Craft Cartel Liquor has grown in strength and numbers over the past 9-years and now offers over 700 curated craft beers in its Constitution Hill (NSW) store as well as online, allowing for national distribution.
Craft Cartel Liquor is no ordinary bottle shop and online store. An appetite for hunting down the most sought after seasonal releases and limited-edition Australian craft beers have earned the team a contingent of loyal customers who eagerly await these much anticipated brews.
While the focus is on showcasing Australian craft beer, their other secret weapon is a curated collection of limited-edition international beers from award-winning breweries such as Birra Baladin (Italy), Omnipollo (Sweden) and BrewDog (Scotland). The rarity of many of these beers such as BrewDog’s Anniversary Imperial Stouts make these bottles ideal gifts for craft beer enthusiasts.
At the heart of Craft Cartel Liquor is a team both infatuated with beer and dedicated to educating their customers, realising that with so much choice on offer, selecting a bottle or case can be overwhelming, especially for those new to the craft beer scene. From sampling a multitude of craft beers throughout the year to constantly speaking with brewers about their latest releases, Craft Cartel Liquor have invaluable knowledge and insight which they’re keen to share with their customers.
