FOOD BUSINESS NEWS

I'll Take a Kombucha – And Make it A Double

"There is an emerging and quickly growing category of adult-centric refreshments in the United States dubbed 'new school alcohol,' said Brent Coons, director of natural insights, Spins, Chicago. These are single-serve, portable and often 'better-for-you' alcoholic beverages that go beyond craft beer and artisan wine. Many make such label claims as less sugar, gluten-free and lower calories. Hard kombucha is one such new school alcohol.

This new concept in microbrew is based on kombucha, a fermented tea drink. In the past few years, kombucha has gone mainstream, with many retailers often stocking multiple brands of the perishable beverage."
