Ethos Forum: Organic Panic
In this Ethos Forum, we’re unpacking organic food. What makes something organic? How is it better for the land? And can you taste the difference? We’ll attempt to answer these questions with help from Dr Kristin Alford from MOD., Professor Larry Lockshin, Professor Enzo Lombi and Dr Evangeline Mantzioris from UniSA.

You’ll get a free drink and snack on arrival, and the bar will be open for drink purchases.

“A lot of different flowers make the perfect bouquet.”

Diversity is about all of us. We are all different, we are all unique. Without diversity, life would be very boring. Let’s create our own ‘perfect bouquet’ with our mates and celebrate our unity at the ‘United We Are’ party next month for just $5!

There will be delicious food, music, fun games, BUPA hosted photobooth, and best of all, the opportunity to show off your traditional cultural dress for your chance to win a $150 prize.

Learn about UniSA Alumni, and founder of Prohibition Gin
Sitting in Prohibition Liquor Co. on Gilbert Street, it’s clear co-founder and ‘bootlegger’ Adam Carpenter’s design and branding talents have extended throughout the company’s distillery, bar and tasting room. The walls are lined with slick, bespoke-designed bottles of the handmade, craft liquor they are known for and, of course, their world-renowned gin distilled and bottled in Gilbert Street and distributed globally.

A graphic designer by trade – Adam completed a Bachelor of Visual Communication at UniSA, eventually starting his own practice in 2006, Toolbox Graphic Design, working out of a 150-year-old church in his backyard for nearly 12 years. After establishing a solid working relationship with client Wes Heddles, the pair travelled the country and set up a fast-growing renewable energy brand’s retail presence across Australia; eventually, Adam and Wes decided to branch out and start their own business together.
“In early 2015 Wes’ step mum passed away. She was a gin drinker. We were sitting down talking about it, having her favourite drink, a gin and tonic one day, and Wes said, ‘Maybe we should make gin’. I looked at him and said, ‘Sure – we don't know the first thing about making it – but it sounds like fun.’

Now, as an established Adelaide staple, Adam and Prohibition Liquor continue to build on this forward momentum, increasingly finding themselves as the go-to experts for the intersection of marketing and branding, hospitality, and spirits. It’s also allowed them to advise, mentor and contract distillers for younger up-and-coming brands too, just like those more established in the industry did at the beginning of Prohibition Liquor Co. all those years ago.
