With abundant care and quick reflexes—gotta dodge those snapping teeth—we craft each hard kombucha over 2-3 weeks.
You see them sway and snap—these Strainge Beasts are alive. Our Strainge Beast hard kombucha contains the bacteria and yeast from the brewing process, and those cultures ensure the taste stays at its prime.
These tiny guardians of flavor love the cold; keeping Strainge Beast refrigerated maintains the kombucha’s delicious balance. So look for it behind the cooler doors at your favorite store.
We brew Strainge Beast with a blend of organic green and black tea, so one 12-ounce can amounts to the caffeine in a standard cup of black tea.
Strainge Beast Hard Kombuchas (not our Fermented Cocktails) are raw and unpasteurized, so they must be kept cold at all times (33–49º F). Unlike some kombuchas, Strainge Beast is never pasteurized, doesn’t contain probiotic additives, and therefore isn’t “shelf stable” (i.e., stored warm). We believe this is at the heart of authentic kombucha-brewing practices.
Strainge Beast Fermented Cocktails are pasteurized to provide stability as well as lock in the flavor profile. These can be stored at room temperature, but we recommend cold storage for optimal flavor.
Hard kombucha takes an extra step: a second round of fermentation to bring alcohol back into the mix, adding even more depth to an enchanting brew.
We brew Strainge Beast using all gluten-free ingredients, and our quality control team has tested and confirmed its gluten-free status.
Within Strainge Beast there are hard kombuchas and fermented cocktails. Our hard kombuchas are fully organic, exclusively using ingredients certified organic by Oregon Tilth. Our fermented cocktails contain 95%+ organic ingredients — a vast majority, but not enough to certify them organic. All Strainge Beast styles are also Gluten Free and Vegan Friendly.
Yes, Strainge Beast is vegan friendly!
Kombucha starts with tea leaves and water, but it’s no mellow cup of herbs. By adding a mixed culture of bacteria and yeast—launching a fermentation frenzy—kombucha emerges bright and bubbly, winning taste buds with a refreshing tang.
150 days from the canning date, found on the bottom of each can.
