The Earp family have been established in Newcastle, NSW, since 1883, and in 2019, the current generation opened the doors of our ultra-modern distillery. Located in the beautiful port-side suburb of Carrington, Earp Distilling Co. offers quality, creativity and new experiences to connoisseurs, the spirit curious and everyone in between.
At the distillery, you’ll find a stylish alternative to traditional pubs and bars without losing that intimate local feel. They offer seasonal menus full of the best local produce, a rotating cocktail list featuring their spirits, and a bounty of local beers and wines. The distillery regularly holds ticketed and free events for the public to attend and enjoy.
Want to expand your distillery adventure? Join the team for a spirit Experience! Whether you walk through on a Tour, take a trip with the Tasting Flights, or become a distiller for the day at Spirit School, there are so many ways for you to learn about their passion.
All of its spirits are produced using local and organic ingredients, where possible, in their technology-driven modern stills. These iStills produce spirits with up to 70% more energy efficiency than traditional methods – one part of their journey to create a distillery and spirits synonymous with adventure, sustainability and quality.
