Founder’s Story
Ashton’s Bold Brew
Get Smashed was born out of one man’s refusal to be underestimated, and the bold belief that beer can do more than just quench thirst.
Ashton, affectionately known as Smash by his friends and family, is a sports fanatic, music lover, proud graduate, and now the founder of Australia’s most exciting new beverage brand.
He also happens to live with Atypical Atypical Rett Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that affects movement and speech. But don't get it twisted, Ashton is all action, all drive, and all heart.
His story isn’t one of overcoming; it's one of expressing, creating, and shaking up the status quo.
Too often, people with disabilities are overlooked or boxed into token roles. Ashton’s answer? Build something fun, cheeky, inclusive, and seriously good. Not to tick a box or win sympathy, but to lead. To laugh. To launch a brand that reflects his passions and gives others permission to follow theirs.
A recent high school graduate, Ash wheeled into his first Secret Shopper job, grows peaches in his backyard orchard, and is designing bold brews. Ashton is showing the world what real inclusion and capability look like.
The name "Get Smashed" isn’t about the drink; it’s a tribute to Ashton himself.
Smash is known for his energetic spirit and impact, and this brand embodies his humour and his unstoppable ambition.
Get Smashed is more than a beverage. It’s a statement that leadership can come from anyone, that difference is power, and that everyone deserves to be the main character in their own story. This isn’t just about beer.
This is about rewriting the rules, with a grin, a punchy can, and a whole lot of pride.
