Dan's Daily acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and write. We recognise their rich and enduring history of storytelling and creativity and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Welcome to Dan’s Daily – a digital publication serving up the inside word on drinks.

Not just the best drinks to try (though we’ve certainly got that covered), but a true celebration of the people, culture, places, news and stories behind what fills your glass. 

Our coverage is wide-ranging but carefully curated – spanning everything from the biodynamic wineries making waves in McLaren Vale, to a pitch-perfect recipe for Penne Alla Vodka. The ideal spot to sit at Carlton’s newest bar, to the cocktails Australia’s top bartenders think are totally underrated. Martinis to malbec, golden ale to gewürztraminer – we’re your reminder that there’s an extraordinary and ever-expanding scene out there just waiting to be discovered. We’re here to help you explore it (and coax you beyond your comfort zone to delicious new heights).

Dan’s Daily is powered by some of Australia’s most dialled in drinks, food and culture connoisseurs – driven by curiosity and a serious thirst for uncovering the very finest in drinks experiences. Think of us as that go-to friend who has all the best intel and can’t wait to share it. Or that cute bartender (you know the one) who whips you up the tastiest cocktail you’ve never heard of and fills you in on all the must-hit bars. No gate-keeping, no snobbery, no name-dropping for the sake of it – just genuinely hot tips, on the daily. And we’re doing it all in a way that’s aesthetically beautiful and authentically insightful.

Whether you already know your shiraz from your syrahs or navigating a drinks list sends you into an existential spiral, we’re here for you. We look forward to investigating, embracing and appreciating the drinks, culture and communities that make up the Australian and international liquor landscape together.

With fresh how-tos, hot tips and deep dives every day, Dan’s Daily keeps you on top of what’s new, what’s good and what you definitely need to know. 

Now that is something to toast to. 

Dan’s Daily is an editorial publisher, powered by Dan Murphy’s. Daniel Francis Murphy was deeply passionate about growing and sharing his knowledge of all things drinks. We hope to embody his insatiable curiosity and spirit of inclusivity.
