    Kombucha has to be in the running for most marked up drink. Stupid cheap to make, even if kegging it. Same essential process as beer.

      I think the alcohol removal process increases the price quite a bit. Still very marked up though.

          But then you have to restrict your userbase to over 21s and can’t sell it in many supermarkets. Without alcohol it can be sold as a soft drink.

              That’s accurate, but anything above 0.5% is considered alcoholic in the US. There have been some small pushes to get the limit increased to 1.25%, which would make the usual levels of alcohol in normal kombucha legal, but I don’t think that’ll actually ever happen.

    I tried Kombucha for the first time the other day.

    I don’t get it.

    It wasn’t terrible but I’d rather have a beer or a juice. Not whatever that was.

      I enjoy it. Kombucha is a very rare savory cold drink. I find it tasty so it’s a good choice for variety, which I crave.
