PIRATE LIFE
Hindmarsh, South Australia
Well, obviously, Pirates are pretty cool. That said, we’re not actual Pirates. We just align with some of their ideals. Do what you want when and wherever you want, drink what you want, or even develop an unhealthy bout of scurvy. Not that we recommend the scurvy. Instead of stealing and pillaging tangible items of value, we take inspiration from interesting brewers and breweries, chefs and restaurants or even scientists and engineers. If there is ever a better way of doing something we want to find out about it, research it and if we find there is a benefit to it we will implement it. www.piratelife.com.au

THE WONDERSNACK CO
Sydney, New South Wales
A few years ago, I found myself feeling very underwhelmed by the selection of savoury snacks available in shops. They are either heavily processed and full of additives, as in the case of chips, or simply plain and uninspiring (salted peanuts or honey roasted almonds, anyone?). Having previously worked as a pastry cook, I thought I could do better. The Wondersnack Co. exists to bring joy, fun, and a spirit of adventure and wonder into snacking. Welcome to the new frontier in snack foods…go on, treat yourself! www.wondersnack.com.au
