Nania's Wildbrew Kombucha
Nania's Wildbrew is a drinks company born out of a passion for fermented drinks. Founded in 2020, our Bristol-based craft kombucha brewery has developed a unique approach to kombucha production that sets us apart in the city.
Our micro-brewery, situated on our allotment vineyard in Montpelier, produces award-winning authentic kombuchas that are barrel-fermented for exceptional depth of flavour. Using a proprietary brewing method, we create small-batch kombucha that's can-conditioned and available locally in Bristol and online.
We source our green tea blend from the Rare Tea Company, ensuring sustainable and ethical sourcing. Our kombucha is RAW and unpasteurised, with a stable, balanced microbial culture that produces consistently exceptional results. The distinctive product appeals to both kombucha enthusiasts and those seeking sophisticated non-alcoholic alternatives.
We're so confident in the authenticity of our product that we offer a S.C.O.B.Y guarantee - if you can't grow your own kombucha culture using one of our cans, we'll refund your purchase.
