We've created a special Pride edition kombucha to show our support for the LGBTQ community! Introducing PRIDE and EQUALI-TEA Kombucha. Developed to stand out from the rest, this booch made its debut on tap today featuring a fun, bolder, appearance, symbolizing uniqueness, inclusion, and flare. As a kombucha brewery, an exciting part of our work is flavour development and taste-testing. Originally we had thought of formulating a kombucha combining a fruit from every colour in the rainbow, but the end result would have had less effect and visual appeal. Pride and Equali-Tea is much more simple in flavour, yet loud and proud in its striking colour. Infused with organic whole pineapple, stevia leaf, and blue algae powder, this vibrant brew is anything but ordinary. Known in colour psychology as the colour of the evolved soul, Turquoise not only helps evoke peace, happiness, and creativity, but it is said to help open communication, build self-esteem and self-love, which in turn supports our ability to love others unconditionally. As a proud sponsor for the Pembroke Pride Festival, we also wanted to take the opportunity to use our kombucha for the cause. $1 from every 1L Pride and Equali-Tea bottle sold will be donated to supporting Pride initiatives in our community. Booch lovers can fill up on tap in Pembroke at Blendz Smoothie Shop and in Deep River at The Olive Tree, knowing their purchase contributes to making a difference. Although the brew is seriously delicious as is, we thought a signature Pride and Equali-Tea kombucha cocktail recipe would take it to the next level. - Pride and Equali-Tea Cocktail - 4 oz Pride and Equali-Tea Kombucha 3 oz Pineapple Juice 1 oz Blue Curaçao 0.5 oz Vodka Pour over ice or combine ingredients in a shaker, serve in a tall glass and garnish with a pineapple, strawberry or whatever suits your fancy. Make it colourful, just like you! *Opt out of the alcohol and it's just as delicious as a virgin cocktail! Other cocktail recipes like Electric Lemonade, Smurf, or Blue Margarita can be made by using half juice, half kombucha or by fully replacing the pop with kombucha. June is Pride month. We stand proud alongside our LGBTQ family members, peers, those in our community and across the globe. Together we unite, not only this week, this month, but always, making our voices heard and understood, moving forward in alignment so that we never have to be afraid to wave our flag and show off our brilliant true colours. Join in the many fun and exciting activities throughout Pembroke Pride Week from June 7th to 15th and for a full day of celebration at the Pembroke Pride Festival on June 15th. A huge thank you to the Pembroke Pride volunteers and organizers! “One day we won’t have to ”come out of the closet”. We’ll just say we are in love and that will be all that matters.” -Ellen Degeneres

Dry January? Kombucha to the rescue! If you're like us and participating in dry January (taking a wee break from alcohol), kombucha mocktails are a must. You can still be fancy with a booze-less Moscow Mule using Hibiscus Ginger or Just Ginger Kombucha (or keep it traditional and add the vodka if you'd prefer). The best part is our booch is low in sugar, has beneficial live bacteria and organic acids, uses real ginger (go away Winter cold & flu!), and adding fresh lime juice gives you extra Vitamin C! Get crazy and experiment with different recipes, flavours, and add some fresh fruit to your glass. Try our Virgin Kombucha Moscow Mule recipe! 👇 KOMBUCHA MOSCOW MULE 4 oz Hibiscus Ginger or Just Ginger Kombucha 2 oz Ginger Beer (option to omit and add more booch) 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice Ice cubes Garnish with fresh lime and mint sprig Cheers!
