What is kyla hard kombucha?

KYLA Hard Kombucha is a fermented and fizzy, light and refreshing, alcoholic kombucha beverage brewed in Hood River, Oregon. Lower in sugar, calories and carbs, and filled with live kombucha cultures, it’s most likely your favorite drink. We brew KYLA Original at 4.5% and our tropical Sunbreak Series at 6.5%.

Wait, What is Kombucha Anyway?

Kombucha is an effervescent beverage produced by fermenting tea and sugar with a living culture called a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast).

IS KYLA BREWED WITH A SCOBY?

Of course! Authentic kombucha is an effervescent beverage produced by fermenting tea and sugar with a living culture called a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). Sounds gross, tastes good. KYLA Hard Kombucha is brewed from our own bespoke kombucha SCOBY, specially designed to taste amazing and have the cultures your heart – and gut – desires.

CAN KOMBUCHA CULTURES LIVE IN AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE?

Heck yeah. When you drink KYLA – whether it’s our hard kombucha or our craft canned cocktails – you’re getting beneficial live cultures along with a just-right alcohol content of 4.5-7%. We like to think of it as a buzz with benefits.

DO I NEED TO REFRIGERATE KYLA?

All of KYLA’s beverages are shelf stable. Refrigeration is not necessary but, like all of us, KYLA cultures do best in chill environments, and of course, KYLA tastes best nice and cold.

IS KYLA KOMBUCHA GLUTEN FREE?

It sure is, so please tell all your gluten-averse friends.

CAN MY CHILDREN DRINK KYLA?

No, not unless you’re one of those European let-your-kids-drink-alcohol-at-the-dinner-table progressive types. It also happens to be illegal to consume KYLA if you’re under 21.

IS KYLA BEER? WHY DOES IT SAY ‘BEER’ ON KYLA’S LABEL?

KYLA is not beer. Our hard kombucha is a fermented tea beverage – not a malt beverage. However, the TTB (aka The Feds) classifies alcoholic kombucha as beer and therefore requires the word “beer” on the label. Go figure.

CAN KYLA GET ME INTOXICATED?

Asking for a friend? KYLA is an alcoholic beverage with 4.5-7% ABV. As with most things in life, we recommend moderation.

THERE IS KOMBUCHA SEDIMENT IN MY KYLA. SHOULD I SHAKE IT?

While shaking and then opening a carbonated beverage could be a fun party trick, we do not recommend this unless you’re in the mood to mop your ceiling. However, some good kombucha goodness will settle, so give your can a gingerly swirl before drinking.

DOES KYLA EXPIRE?

Our brewmasters aren’t messing around with flavor, so they’d like you to enjoy KYLA within approximately 25 weeks from packaging for maximum happiness. The packaging date is printed on the bottom of the can.

IS KYLA CAFFEINATED?

KYLA Hard Kombucha has a very small amount of naturally occurring caffeine (less than a cup of decaf coffee) because it’s brewed with black tea. Riviera Series Cocktails have no caffeine.

WHAT DOES THE NAME KYLA MEAN?

KYLA, besides simply being a great name, is an acronym for some of the key components of our authentic fermented beverage: Kombucha – Yeast – Lactobacillus – Acetobacter. Say that five times fast. Keep – Your – Life – Awesome works too if tongue twisters aren’t your thing. Turns out (thank you internet) that there are also a lot of people named Kyla out there who we’ve been lucky enough to meet. KYLAs of the world unite!

IS KYLA VEGAN?

Yes. No animals, dairy products or meat-eaters are harmed in the making of KYLA.

LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, WILL KYLA MAKE ME IMMORTAL?

Although kombucha was deemed the “tea of immortality” back in 220 B.C., none of the people who were drinking it then are still around, thereby disproving the immortality theory. People do claim the live cultures in kombucha have many positive effects on the immune system and gut health, but we promote KYLA solely for its refreshing great taste. With how good KYLA tastes, you may want to live forever.
