The brainchild of Grégoire Bertaud, Mal Higgs and Angus Farrell, The Drink Hive has a clear, noble goal (other than the obvious selling of booze) to bring quality craft and artisanal products to thirsty punters in a sustainable manner, and at a decent price — Higgs and Bertaud, the official co-owners of the shop, work closely with various producers to ensure that this goal is met. They even have refillable beer and wine stations pouring quality drops.

The Drink Hive is located in Rosebery's food precinct Saporium, which brings sustainable eating, organic ingredients and local businesses together in one place. The Drink Hive slots right into this niche, as Bertaud says that he's "excited to offer Sydney a local and sustainable approach to craft alcohol products at a price affordable to everyone."
