It’s time to get a little Fancy. The Blends of the World brings you the fancy fellas of Fancy Free who have united to open what will be one of Melbourne’s most transgressive drinking dens.
This Australian tour ‘Pour Decisions’ will feature in-depth seminars dedicated to sharing their story from the conceptualisation of their brand, what to expect when building a bar and the challenges that have arisen thus far.
Here, get a look at the video with Fancy Free’s Matt Stirling as he presents their Pet Not.
