Our Story

Best told with whisky.

Golden yellow Australian wattle flowers glow in the sunlight.

Father and son.

Founded by the Saar family, in Melbourne, Australia, Malt & Brew is operated by father and son duo, Yftach and Thomas. What began as a small project during the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020 quickly developed into the business you see today, with unique glasses and barware accessories sent to thousands of homes across Australia.

Glasses with Personality.

Whisky lovers know that it can be hard to find the right glass. Rather than repeating the same, tired designs, our glasses have something to say. A glass with style is the only way to do justice to a good drink.

Business - but better.

The planet matters to us. We use paper-based packaging and low-emission freight to reduce our footprint. You can read more about our goals on our sustainability page.

An Industry Favourite

Malt & Brew has supplied glassware to Mitsubishi, Volvo Trucks, Dan Murphy's, Boss Hunting, GQ, Vogue Australia, and many more Australian and international brands.

The Manufacturing Process.

Malt & Brew prides itself on being a brand that values quality over quantity. We understand that the success of a glassware brand is highly dependent on the quality of its products, and therefore, we have taken great care to ensure that all our manufacturing is done in small-scale batches.

Our glasses are made in China — but nearly all our products are blown by hand in a single factory. This gives us control over the quality and features of the glassware. We've worked hard with our skilled artisans to ensure every glass feels good to hold and good to drink from.
