Inspired by the pristine environment, rare wildlife and unique botanicals that make up Lord Howe Island, two locals have decided to create a brewing business to highlight the World Heritage site's special features.
"I was actually born in a hospital named after my great grandfather Gower Wilson who was lost at sea on his way to Lord Howe Island." At age 11, Mr Riddle was sent to boarding school on the mainland, where he was exposed to the wider world. "We were hit with a few hurdles through COVID-19, but it also gave us some really good time to figure out how we wanted to approach this business," Mr Riddle said.The duo worked on ways to incorporate special features of the island into their beverages.
"We've worked out with the Lord Howe Island board what botanicals we can source without having an impact on the wider island, such as the wild lemons which we collect that date back to the 1820s."The pair have also incorporated the history of the island on their packaging. "We are establishing our distillery on the island through approvals through the Lord Howe Island board in the next 2–3 months."There are also the physical implications of being based on an island."We're also limited by the amount of botanical we can collect and almost all of our products are seasonal."
