frequently asked questions

All our products are brewed in Victoria, Australia. Our home base is in (sometimes) sunny Brunswick.

Pét Nat Kombucha is what you get when you combine brewing kombucha with brewing Pét Nat wine. It’s kombucha elevated and low-alc reinvented. The newest approach to interesting sparkling products that don’t result in a hangover the next day.

Every bottle of Monceau is brewed to a maximum 1.15% ABV. This makes it a wonderful ultra-low-alc option to share with family and friends.

Each can of Parc Pils has less than 0.5% ABV, placing it within the category of non-alcoholic (or ultra-low-alcohol in some jurisdictions).

Put simply, for the flavour that a natural brewing process imparts on the drink. The process of fermentation which develops the beautiful complexity of our drinks naturally produces a small amount of alcohol. Some brewers then use teched-out filters or boil the drink to get rid of that last bit of booze, but we think you can really notice this alteration when you drink it. We have tinkered and studied the science a good deal in all our products, and feel we've found a  sweet spot between a great natural flavour and an ultra-low alcohol level.   

All our bottles have best before dates printed on them. It should be printed on the back of the label near the barcode, or alternatively on a little sticker of its own.

Unfortunately, Parc Pils is not gluten free. However, Monceau is totally gluten free and is the product for all our gluten-sensitive friends.

At 0.5% ABV, Parc Pils is classified as ultra-low-alcohol. However, it cannot get you drunk. There are a heap of things in our day-to-day lives that contain similar levels of alcohol (a ripe banana, burger rolls or a slice of rye bread just to name a few!)

If you’ve cracked open one of our gorgeous 750ml bottles for a dinner party but didn’t quite make it through the whole bottle, grab a wine bottle stopper and your Monceau will stay nicely fizzy for another couple of days.

Monceau products are unpasteurised, which is something a lot of pregnant women choose to avoid drinking during pregnancy. We’ve gone into more depth about Monceau kombucha and pregnancy on our blog post but the tl;dr is you should chat with your doctor before making any decisions!

We offer shipping to most of Australia, depending on the products you order and where you are. Sometimes when we use refrigerated couriers there are certain places they cannot deliver.

Shipping is totally free Australia-wide.

All orders are tracked either via Australia Post or our refrigerated courier partners. Once the order is shipped, you will receive an email with a tracking number. There you can keep an eye on your order until it reaches you.

Unfortunately, some orders get split up during transit and one or two boxes may arrive before others. This isn’t something to be concerned about, and the rest of the order should show up a couple of days after the original delivery.

Generally, shipping will take around 5-7 days (often quicker in Melbourne), provided there are no delays with our shipping partners.

Once Monceau is unrefrigerated for a few days, it is possible that the fermentation process will kick start again. However, it won’t be long enough between leaving our brewery and arriving at your doorstep for anything major to have changed. It may simply be a little fizzier and drier but still totally safe and delicious!

We have a whole heap of lovely stockists around Australia — cafes, restos, grocers, bars and more — who would love to serve you some Monceau Co drinks instore. Head to our stockists pages for Monceau here.

We send through emails confirming orders and shipping to the email address used to place the order. Have a look through your spam and if it’s still not there, get in touch with us at hello@monceau.com.au and we can help you out.

This is a tricky one. Any of our drinks that are 0.5% or below can be sold without a license. For the drinks that are 1.15% ABV (e.g. Monceau Pet Nat): each state adopts its own laws on what level of ABV classifies a product as alcoholic. In NSW, WA and SA, for example, a liquor license is NOT required to sell 1.15% ABV drinks. However, in VIC and QLD, a liquor license IS required.

Please feel free to get in touch with us at any time with any questions at hello@monceau.com.au and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
