Après Skrew: Peanut Butter Whiskey Turns Australia’s Winter Parties Upside Down



This August, winter in Australia is about to get a lot nuttier. Skrewball Whiskey, the cult U.S. peanut butter whiskey that’s taken the world by storm, is bringing its bold brand of chaos to Aussie shores with
Après Skrew: a mash-up of alpine energy, club culture, and a splash of irreverence.

The series kicks off from August 14 to 17 in the snow-covered playground of Mt Buller, where the mountain will transform into a four-day après-ski rave. Expect high-energy DJ sets, late-night dance floors, cheeky whiskey tastings, and even tattoo stations, all set against the backdrop of Victoria’s winter wonderland. Over 4,000 samples of Skrewball will be poured in a setting that fuses ski lodge coziness with underground club grit, creating a high-altitude party unlike anything Australia has seen before.

Then, on August 30, the après energy descends to sea level for a beachside blowout at The Espy in Manly. Ski lodge vibes will collide with ocean spray as seaside DJs, immersive Skrewball experiences, and signature cocktails take over one of Sydney’s most iconic venues. The result? A party that proves winter fun doesn’t have to stay in the snow.

Those unable to attend can still join the fun. Skrewball has created two low-lift, crowd-pleasing cocktail recipes for Aussies looking to host their own Après Skrew moments at home, at the slopes, or anywhere the winter spirit takes them. The Skrewdolph pairs two ounces of Skrewball with rich hot chocolate, finished with whipped cream for a decadent winter treat. The Skrewed Up Irish Coffee blends Skrewball with fresh hot coffee and a generous whipped cream topping for a caffeinated kick with a nutty twist. Served in mugs or thermoses, they’re perfect for ski chalets, backyard fire pits, or a beach bonfire with friends.

It’s all part of Skrewball’s global mission to make winter parties louder, wilder, and more deliciously nutty. Founded in California by husband-and-wife duo Steven and Brittany Yeng, Skrewball began as an unlikely bar shot in San Diego. Steven, a Cambodian refugee with a love for peanut butter, introduced the flavour into cocktails at his bar, while Brittany, a chemist-turned-lawyer, helped turn it into a shelf-stable liqueur. Since then, the brand has won international awards, built a devoted following, and sparked a flavour revolution in the spirits world.

Sweet, savoury, and just a little bit unhinged, Skrewball is made for those who refuse to blend in. Whether you’re carving down Mt Buller’s slopes or dancing by the Manly surf, Après Skrew is the ultimate invitation to break the rules, raise a glass, and embrace winter with a twist.
