Overview
Despite Australian supermarkets' current two-item limits, trying to get your hands on — and covered in — sanitiser is much harder than it should be at present. The liquid disinfectant is on everyone's must-buy list, leaving empty supermarket shelves seemingly everywhere. Luckily, a bunch of Australian distilleries are using their booze to make the now-essential product. It makes sense, because alcohol is a crucial ingredient in sanitiser — especially ones that are effective against COVID-19.
The latest booze-maker to pivot to hand sanitiser is Sydney's favourite all-vegan brewery, Yulli's Brews. The Alexandria spot's finger cleaner not only has a cheeky name — Doomsday Sanitiser — but it's cheap: $9.50 for a 125-millilitre bottle.
Orders are limited to four bottles are person and will be shipped from Tuesday, April 14. If you want to snag a bottle we recommend you move real fast — these bad boys fly off virtual shelves as quickly as they do physical ones.
While you're hanging out in the brewery's virtual shop, you can also pick up a 16-packs of Dolly Aldrin (a pineapple and basil berliner weisse), Dad's Army (a barrel-aged spiced pumpkin ale) and Fat Nerd (a vanilla porter), among other anthropomorphised ales and sakes.
On the food side of things, Surry Hills sister restaurant Yulli's is delivering $28 three-course vegan dinners from Thursday–Saturday. To check out the latest menu and order, head to the website.
