Adelaide’s Mischief Brew has created The Doc – a bold new beverage driven by Pep’s premium single-origin black pepper.

Born from Mischief Brew’s interest in the unexpected and Pep’s mission to get people expecting more from their black pepper, The Doc packs a healthy dose of peppercorns alongside a proprietary blend of thirteen fruits, roots, herbs, and spices.

“When Pep called us up with the idea for a soda built around their knockout black pepper, we were in before they’d even finished the sentence,” said Mischief Brew founders Dan Cox and Scott Giles.

“Their knack for flavour and creativity is as sharp as their peppercorns, and working with such a passionate crew made The Doc an absolute blast to bring to life. The Doc is more than a drink – it’s the result of two teams who can’t resist pushing each other’s ideas further.”

Pep Co-founders Myki Slonim, Royce Akers and Josh Gardiner say they’ve been fans of Mischief’s “fizzy genius” for ages.

“Their collabs with our friends at Saison Aperitifs and Mat’s Hot Shop are the stuff of drinks-fridge legend. It’s a joy to have a Mischief Brew soda with our name on it, so big love to Scott and Dan for getting The Doc in the can and being game to do something with a big wink. We’re ready to hit Spring with a spicy bang.”

Doc is available online via Mischief Brew and Pep online shops, and will be hitting the shelves of retail stockists across Australia from today.

Proudly Australian-made and owned, Mischief Brew specialises in producing natural, small-batch beverages. Their softies and mixers are crafted ‘ingredients first’, allowing the natural flavours to shine.
