Ever wondered what TGA looks like behind the scenes?

Lots of laughter, plenty of colour, a series of amazing people, and a whole lot of gorgeous camera equipment.

INTRODUCING “BEHIND THE BAR”

At this year’s 1919 Cocktail Competition at @hiso_rooftopbar we announced something we’ve wanted to do for a long time “Behind the Bar”.

1919 has been built with the support of New Zealand hospitality.

Over the years, incredible venues and most importantly the people behind them have backed us, poured our spirits and helped us grow. Without that support, Behind the Bar simply wouldn’t be possible.

So we want to start giving something back.

From every litre of 1919 Gin & Vodka sold starting from September 2026, 10 cents will go into a dedicated Behind the Bar fund, created to support people working at venues that stock and pour 1919.

Initially, the fund will focus on helping with medical and counseling costs, when someone needs a bit of extra support.

As the fund grows, we want its support to grow too including helping hospitality workers up-skill, develop and further their careers in the industry.

We wouldn’t be in a position to do this without the support of venues like @caretaker.nz , @rocketman.nz , @lilian.akl , @curiobarnz , @thechurchillakl @mos_bar_auckland @ahirestaurant and so many more that have backed 1919 over the years.

Every bottle poured has helped us get here.

Now, we want some of that support to flow back Behind the Bar.

10¢ from every litre. For the people behind hospitality.

Available to staff from venues that pour 1919 full details application forms will be available on 1919distilling.com soon.
