49% of Americans are trying to drink less. Not because they have a problem.
Because there's nothing good to drink instead.

Until now.

Same evening. Different growler.

64 ounces of kombucha is a full evening. You're full. You're satisfied. Beer never entered the picture.

How it works.

01

Local brewers make the kombucha

Boulder producers like Upstart, Mortal, and Rev brew in licensed facilities. They fill kegs. We pick them up.

02

Kegs go to member garages

Your neighbor has a kegerator in their garage. Cold, clean, on tap. The keg shows up every week from the co-op delivery route.

03

You walk over with your growler

64oz glass growler. Fill it up. $5. Walk home. That's your evening sorted. Bring it back empty next time.

04

The cooperative owns the network

No franchise. No corporation. The members own the taps, the routes, the relationships. 3% of every pour builds your cooperative equity.

Why it's half the price.

We removed everything that makes kombucha expensive. What's left is the kombucha.

Scale goes silent for 7 days? That's a check-in trigger. Same signal as “she stopped coming for kombucha on Tuesdays.” The cooperative notices. The caregiver calls. That's the network.
