What do you get when you combine world-class brewers, nerdy-cool microbiologists, and a quest for the perfect “Healthy-ish” libation? It’s not a trick question – it’s KYLA HARD KOMBUCHA, an innovative, fermented and fizzy, light and refreshing, alcoholic kombucha beverage brewed in Hood River, Oregon.

Kombucha is a live, carbonated beverage produced by fermenting tea and sugar with a living culture called a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). Originating around 220 B.C. – when it was christened the “tea of immortality” – kombucha is thought to contribute to weight loss and gut health and to stimulate the immune system.

Brewed the right way and fermented to 4.5% ABV, KYLA Hard Kombucha is how kombucha was meant to be. Shelf stable, with live cultures, 100 calories, and just 2g sugar and 2g carbs, KYLA Hard Kombucha is a totally new beverage steeped in a 2,000-year history.

Consumers are increasingly more health conscious, living more balanced lifestyles, and seeking solutions for health issues, so they are choosing beverages that contain natural ingredients, have less sugar, are gluten-free and are light, clean and refreshing. U.S. retail sales of kombucha and other fermented beverages surged 37.4% in 2017, according to recent Food Navigator research. KYLA Hard Kombucha puts the fun in functional beverage.
