## Resource

Matt Froude ditched the classroom for sake barrels—teaching English in Japan turned into brewing his own brand, Municipal, now shipping Aussie-made sake to restaurants back home. He’s set to be the only Aussie brewer at the Melbourne Sake Festival in 2026, rubbing shoulders with 75 Japanese masters. Splitting his year between grape wine in Victoria and traditional sake brewing with a 160-year-old family brewery, he’s turning a passion into a global craft, producing 150 bottles this year alone.
