Introducing: Plenty Hard Kombucha

For all you health-conscious adventurers, we’ve created an all-natural better-for-you alcohol brew carefully crafted from premium organic fruits and botanicals – a handcrafted beverage with great tasting real ingredients. Plenty Hard Kombucha is your all natural, better-for-you happy hour alternative, with no added spirits, no artificial flavoursand most importantly, no compromises. 

So what does it mean to be a better-for-you alcohol beverage? We compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions you may be asking about Plenty Hard Kombucha:

Q: What makes Plenty Hard Kombucha a “better-for-you” option?

A: One word: Ingredientvalls. Made with premium organic fruits and botanicals and an artisanal brewing process that naturally raises the alcohol content to 5%, Plenty Hard Kombucha is an all natural better-for-you brew with no preservatives!

 Plenty Hard Kombucha is an all natural better-for-you brew with no preservatives!

Through an artisanal brewing process, Plenty is an all natural craft beverage containing only 1g of sugar, 1g of carbs, gluten-free, vegan and 99 calories per 355 mL can. As part of our “no compromises” policy, our hard kombucha is made with real, premium organic fruits and botanicals that are high in antioxidants, amino acids, and digestive enzymes – and without any artificial flavours or added sugarsthat typically lead to hangovers!

Plenty is not a spirit-based mixed drink, rather, it is naturally brewed to 5% ABV through a unique double fermentation process. This process is what makes our kombucha alcohol drink become “hard kombucha”, converting sugars to alcohol similar to what’s seen in other brewed beverages, like beers and ciders.

Q: Will a “better-for-you” alcohol beverage still taste good?

A: Yes! We set out to create a health-conscious happy hour alternative that doesn’t compromise on quality ingredients or taste.

Born from our founder Valli Manickam’s Kitsilano home kitchen, our winning formula carefully combines premium organic ingredients to create a flavour that excites your taste buds! With real fruits and botanicals, our organic hard kombucha is clean, lightly carbonated, and leaves you wanting more, without any artificial aftertaste.

Our two feature flavours, Grapefruit + Hibiscus and Mango + Pineapple + Coconut each have their own unique and exciting flavour profile, with a taste that is a crisp, smooth, and wildly refreshing. Learn more about our feature flavours here!

By using premium organic ingredients in our signature brew, we’re maximizing natural flavours and doing our part to protect our environment and natural resources.
