One sunny summer day, my friend and I had just finished climbing the Apron on the Chief and descended to meet our friend, Matt, on his boat docked at Horseshoe Bay. Upon arrival, we were presented warm beers. Politely, I turned down the offer. Matt puts the beer bottle away and reaches into a counter under the sink, and pulls out another warm glass amber bottle, but with no label. I pried open the crown cap and it fizzed all over. I swiftly gulped the erupting beverage to control the mess, and was greeted by spongy stringy bits and strawberry chunks. It was effervescent, tangy, smelly, and oddly refreshing.
That was my first experience with kombucha. I started brewing it for myself soon after, and not long after that I wrote a business plan for school - I was a commerce student at UBC at the time.
I pursued this small brew operation while finishing my degree at UBC, and eventually graduated and expanded the operation into our brew facility here on the North Shore. We are now a small team dedicated to brewing bomber booch, and making our community awesome.
Hope you enjoy our kombucha!
