Measuring up
Crafted in Sussex, Inspired by Community
We’re a dram of passionate distillers, brewers and winemakers, uniting to showcase the very best our county has to offer. From small-batch gins and vodkas to award winning rums, beers, wines, and hand-crafted cocktails, you’ll find it all with us and all under one roof. Bringing makers and drinkers together to share a love for the craft.
Our collaboration comes to life this spring at the British Engineerium, where we will be joining forces with Paper Daisy Events as part of their much-loved Spring Makers Fair.
