"79 years ago, April 19, 1943, Albert Hofmann, a chemist for Sandoz, in Basel, Switzerland, ingested a minute amount—just 250 micrograms-of a compound derived from the ergot fungus. He soon felt so disoriented that he rode his bicycle home, where he experienced all the heavenly and hellish effects of lysergic acid diethylamide. Psychedelic enthusiasts now commemorate Hofmann's discovery of LSD's effects every April 19, a.k.a. "Bicycle Day. An ode to Albert’s lucid maiden voyage, a deliciously vibrant ale that will induce a kaleidoscope of colours, shapes & flavours - similar to LSD I guess… apparently, or so I’ve heard…
We are excited to release another style that is close to our hearts. A barrel fermented Berliner Weisse. Brewed with 100% Australian grown grains. Floor malted - pilsner & wheat from House of Malt (VIC). Australian rolled rye & oats. Hopped lightly w/ Saaz (CZ). Fermented in neutral barriques for 5 months with a blend of saccharomyces, lactobacillus & brettanomyces strains. Unfined, unfiltered and naturally conditioned. Packaged on March 21st 2022 and can conditioned for 8 months. Aroma's of lemon, hay & sourdough. The palate has a sharp but complex acidity, a mild saline character and flavours that are reminiscent of skin contact white." - Casey Grieve

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
