Four Pillars Gin will open a new space in Sydney’s Surry Hills, which will be used to make small batches of its gin, offer a range of products, and host events.

The Four Pillars Gin and Drinks Lab will include a 70L Carl still named Eileen from its base in Healesville, Victoria, to create the crafted gin, and has a “small bar license” pending approval.

James Irvine, Four Pillars creative director of drinks, will be opening the new space, which will also be available for masterclasses, corporate events and tastings.

The distiller’s Healesville home will also be starting work on its extension later next year.

The Four Pillars Gin and Drinks Lab will be located at 410 Crown Street, Surry Hills and is expected to open in early 2020.
