Hard kombucha is an alcoholic, fermented beverage crafted from brewed tea, sugar, and a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), which serves as the fermenting agent. Rich in probiotics, vitamins, and beneficial enzymes, hard kombucha offers both functional and refreshing qualities. Its alcohol content can vary by brand and is influenced by factors such as fermentation time and the specific strains of yeast used longer fermentation and certain yeasts can lead to higher alcohol levels, while cooler fermentation yields lighter brews. This drink combines the wellness benefits of tea with those of probiotics, helping to support digestion, detoxification, metabolism, energy levels, and immunity. As health-conscious consumers look for alternatives to traditional sodas and alcoholic beverages, hard kombucha is emerging as a popular option that bridges the gap between indulgence and wellness.

Kombucha is made by adding a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) to a mixture of brewed tea and cane sugar, which is then fermented for one to four weeks. Most kombucha undergoes a second fermentation phase where natural flavorings like fruits or spices are added. While kombucha naturally contains trace amounts of alcohol as a result of fermentation, most commercially available versions contain less than 0.5% ABV (alcohol by volume), classifying them as non-alcoholic.

To produce hard kombucha, brewers extend the fermentation process and introduce additional sugar and yeast, resulting in a higher alcohol content—typically between 3% and 11% ABV. Some hard kombucha brands claim to retain the health benefits of traditional kombucha, such as probiotics and digestive support. The rising consumer preference for health-oriented food and beverages is expected to fuel the growth of the hard kombucha market in the coming years. Many health-conscious individuals are cutting back on alcohol to improve wellness outcomes like sleep and weight management. This has led to increased demand for no- and low-alcohol beverages that deliver on both flavor and social experience.
