in May 2021 New Zealand Craft Brewing Company acquired essencia. After distributing essencia to home brew stores across Australia and New Zealand for several years, essencia and NZCBC decided it was time to fully join forces. Combining essencia’s quality flavour development and distillation expertise NZCB’s sales, distribution and logistics efficiencies has made essencia stronger than ever. Developing the world’s simplest and most authentic home spirits systems and flavours is our mission, so more people can enjoy the fun of hand-crafting their own spirits.
