Parc Pils is the latest project by Monceau, a Melbourne-based team passionate about delicious and sophisticated non-alc beverages.

Their first product, Monceau Pet-Nat Kombucha, uses low-intervention, natural fermentations to produce an ultra low-alc alternative to sparkling wine. They made it because they thought kombucha could be as delicious and complex as natural wine. And once they got their brewery up and running, they drank a lot of our pet-nat kombucha themselves, at dinner parties, picnics and the like.

But during a series of prolonged COVID lockdowns in Melbourne, at the end of yet another long day of WFH, they found themselves craving the easy-drinking, crisply uplifting experience of an ice-cold pilsner—but without any heavy or boozy feelings. That’s when they got started on Parc. What if they took all they’d learned developing Monceau—and all that they value: natural and local ingredients, no funny tricks or chemicals, low alc, low sugar—and tried to make a perfect non-alc pilsner?

It’d be no walk in the parc, but they were keen to try.
