Strainge Beast Hard Kombucha
Fermentation is a frenzy, a mad science that taunts its maker.
“Get Strainge” at this year’s High Altitude Lounge with the folks at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co and learn about their hard kombucha project Strainge Beast! Strainge Beast will be available at bars throughout the festival.
It’s a challenge we love at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., one that’s fueled our 40+ years at the forefront of craft brewing. And hard kombucha, well, it’s a Strainge Beast. Making fruits, botanicals, bacteria, and yeast all play nice together? Plenty can go wrong. But done right, you’ve got yourself a delicious love triangle of flavors. It’s tricky—just as our brewers like it. Sip what we’ve brought to life: Let’s Get Strainge.
Raspberry, Golden Kiwi & Elderflower - Tangled with berries, blossoms and kiwifruit, the complex aroma leads to distinct flavor of raspberries, including their tangy sweetness. ABV 4%
Watermelon, Sea Salt, Lime, & Mint - The aroma says summertime, with watermelon and mint putting you poolside. The lime is bright and pleasantly tart, while sea salt rides through the finish to reel you back in. ABV 4%
