By nature, kombucha contains trace amounts of alcohol, usually less than less than 0.5%, and GT's Hard Kombucha bumps up this amount to 3% ABV. GT's Hard Kombucha is made with a base of fermented black and green tea, plus other flavorful ingredients to form varieties like Heavenly Hops, New World Noir and Piña Paradise. While the latter includes fresh-pressed pineapple juice, New World Noir combines blueberry juice, aronia juice and vanilla extract, and Heavenly Hops balances the taste of hops with sweet and fresh peace juice.
The bottled beverages come in at a lower alcohol content than even most low-ABV brews, they are a source of dairy-free probiotics and unlike most alcoholic drinks, they include a full list of ingredients and nutritional information.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Low-abv Beverages
- Developing low-ABV variations of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to create more healthy alternatives for alcohol consumers.
- Functional Fermented Beverages
- Creating and promoting non-dairy, probiotic drinks as a healthy alternative to traditional alcoholic drink options.
- Transparency in Alcoholic Beverages
- Providing full ingredient lists and nutritional information for alcoholic beverages to meet consumer demand for transparency in products.
Sectors Adopting This
- Alcoholic Beverages
- Developing lower alcohol alternatives to appeal to health-conscious consumers without sacrificing flavor and taste.
- Non-alcoholic Beverages
- Incorporating functional benefits like gut health promotion and transparent labeling to appeal to consumers seeking healthier drink options.
- Functional Foods
- Increasing consumption of gut-healthy drinks through low-ABV functional fermented beverages that offer additional nutritional benefits to support digestive health.
