hartyakka was created by a group of friends living in Berlin. Three Australians and an Irishman all met while playing for the Berlin Crocodiles Australian Football club in the early 2010s and quickly bonded over their love of drinking and getting loose. After almost a decade of friendship as a way to keep them connected before they head to different parts of the world they created hartyakka and started by making the drink they drank the most – Vodka Soda.
