Our Story

Best told with whisky.

Golden yellow Australian wattle flowers glow in the sunlight.

A father and son duo.

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.

Our business is built around a few key values: to provide good quality products and good quality service, and to respect our customers and the planet. We use paper-based packaging and low-emission freight to reduce our footprint. You can read more about our goals on our sustainability page.

Quality

Quality matters.

Just okay is not enough. We strive to create a compelling and unique product, manufactured to the highest of standards. That means working closely with our manufacturers and team to provide not only the best value, but also a customer experience to match.

Respect

Respect for everyone.

For you, for our staff, for all partners and for the environment. Kindness, respect and understanding are core pillars to developing a successful business and we hold ourselves to high expectations and standards.

Authenticity

Aussie authenticity.

We are a family-owned, Aussie business. With that comes the responsibility of offering an authentic experience that Aussies expect. That means you can expect us to be transparent, to communicate clearly and always find ways to improve.

Sustainability

Sustainable practice.

We care and we know you do too. We do what we can to help mitigate our carbon footprint. From plastic free packaging to responsible recycling. Every step we take is one towards a better, more sustainable future.

How we make your glasses

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.

Like a lot of things, 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.

Glasses with Personality. Glasses with Personality.

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.

Our customers

Don't listen to us — listen to them. We work hard to provide an excellent experience to all of our customers to get great glassware to their homes, offices, bars, and restaurants.

Super nice glass shape. Need to be a little careful in handling due to its shape, but love them.

This is the second time I've bought glasses from Malt + Brew. The styles are lovely and make for fantastic presents - especially now with the engraving option. I also had a fantastic customer support experience from founder Tom, who personally saw to it that I was fully happy with my order. Can highly recommend this business.

Customer photo review of Malt & Brew Tempest Bundle

I bought this as a 50th birthday present for a friend who is very hard to buy for (very boujee) and he couldn't have loved it more. He is still telling me how much he loves this set. He couldn't wait to set it up. The glasses have a beautiful weight to them and the decanter is a show stopper. The customer service and efficiency of delivery were excellent. Couldn't recommend more!

Well we do have gin glasses for my wife, but since I got my wave glasses there is far more whiskey asked for, than gin??

Prompt delivery, great weight and feel in your hand. I chose these over the other popular style due to personal preference of having a full clean circle "lip" of the glass to sip and savour my whisky. Thanks again. Dane

Perfect glasses, the wave glasses have many drinking spots, and the other glasses are the right diameter (76mm), unlike the Chinese made ones which all seem to be 81mm, leading to spillage out the corners of one's mouth... ugh !!
