(What’s a SCOBY? — get the scoop on the NessAlla website.) NessAlla uses Rishi Teas and organic, fair trade ingredients, and they have a reverse osmosis water filtration system that ensures each bottle and keg of kombucha is extremely delicious and fabulously fresh.

Step Two: Next Level Booch
Now that you’re a bona fide booch drinker, it’s time to try something new: Put some beer in your booch!
Grab a high octane IPA or a smooth lager, and mix it with some kombucha. It’s NessAlla’s version of a radler or shandy, but instead of sugary lemonade, you’ll be sipping on a tasty combo of beer and booch.
