About Us

In 1995 our warehouse was a backyard shed in the southern suburbs of Melbourne, and we sold yeast to a few Australian Brewers. Team lunches at that backyard table were flowing with food, beers and ideas. We challenged each other, we solved problems and had energetic discussions about the how, what, where and why of our company. Little did we know that, as we ate, drank and talked the reason for our existence was right in front of us: the love of the epicurean creations we were enjoying at the table. It drove our quest to supply the world's best ingredients for our customers. A lot has happened since then: In 1999 we were trading out of a new warehouse near home. In 2002 we received our first delivery of hops. In 2005 we then received our first delivery of malt. In 2010 we proudly opened a second warehouse in Perth, providing brewers across Australia with a great selection of malt, hops and yeast. In 2018 we opened two additional warehouses in Port Adelaide and Brisbane. In 2019 we launched Bintani New Zealand, with warehousing and staff in both Auckland and Christchurch. In 2021 we moved to a brand new warehouse and became the exclusive Australian distributor of NZ Hops Ltd. As Bintani has grown and developed, we still have energetic discussions and challenge ourselves and each other to evolve. That is how we innovate and improve our service and offering and remains what drives us as a company. We still get really inspired by our customers' new creations and the pursuit of their passion and consequently our quest for the world's best ingredients is just as impassioned. The table is longer now and lunches more intermittent but it is still what makes us Bintani.
