Red Island Pty Ltd is an Australian owned premium beverage company located in Port Melbourne, Australia. Established for over 11 years and responsible for successfully launching and growing the brands; Quiet Deeds, Quilmes, Alhambra Beer, Chase craft spirits and Scarlett's Spritzers. Red Island was also the exclusive importer of the very popular Re... korderlig Cider, launching the brand back in 2004 and successfully growing the brand to become the #1 selling cider in Australia before selling the brand rights to Coca Cola in 2013. Red Island started from very humble beginnings, founders Patrick Ale and David Milstein were childhood friends and both moved to Melbourne after completing High School in country Victoria. Over a customary beer one night during their time studying Engineering degrees at Melbourne University, they planted the seed to start up their own importing business along with the dream of owning their own brewery. The boys kicked off their business with their first Brand, Bolivian beer 'Pacena' shortly followed by the well-established Argentinian 'Quilmes' beer which gave them great success and a solid foundation to expand their company. After a long slog of hand unloading containers themselves and paying for beer on their credit cards, today Red Island has five successful brands in their portfolio and their very own craft beer called Quiet Deeds with plans to open their own craft brewery in the tail end of 2015.Read More
