Hard kombucha is one of the most buzzed-about beverage trends. We saw the increase in interest over kombucha for the previous years and saw such a divide. It was either a hard yes or a hard no. We get it, kombucha isn't for everyone. However, there's a new option that's got everyone buzzing -- hard kombucha! Hard kombucha is turning even the naysayers into fans and there's one brand that's getting it done right -- KYLA Kombucha.

KYLA Hard Kombucha is a fermented and fizzy, light and refreshing, alcoholic kombucha beverage brewed in Hood River, Oregon. What makes it a crowd favorite? For starters, it's lower in sugar, calories and carbs, AND filled with live kombucha cultures. Safe to say, it’ll most likely be your favorite drink. "Kombucha, is a fermented food that contains microorganisms that can improve digestion, stabilize blood sugar as well as provide overall decreased inflammation through the benefits of green tea," Dr. Olivia Audrey explains. There are many health benefits to kombucha, but as with anything monitoring intake is important. Hard kombucha is not proven to be as probiotic-rich as the regular stuff. However, it's a lower-calorie, lower-sugar, and gluten-free alternative to beer and cider making it an overall 'slightly healthier' buzz. A buzz without the headache, sign me up!

Kyla provides consumers with two variations: KYLA Riviera Cocktails and KYLA Hard Kombucha’s Sunbreak Series.

“The Riviera range embodies KYLA’s trailblazing spirit, creative flair, and obsession with great tasting better-for-you drinks,” says Morgan Robbat, President of KYLA. “We’re thrilled to bring this elevated canned cocktil to market. With artisanal additions like shiso leaves to a mojito and melding pomegranate and pomelo into a Tom Collins we invite our consumers to embark on a journey of flavors with us.”

For the conscious drinker, we recommend opting for KYLA Riviera cocktails - an innovative range featuring a lively twist on classic cocktail culture with modern, multidimensional flavors, alongside gut-friendly probiotics. Sessionable and sparkling with surprising flavors, each 12 oz. single-can serving offers 7% alcohol, 150 calories, only 3 grams of sugar and 2 grams of carbs. In addition, the full range is vegan and gluten-free. Riviera offers four distinct flavor profiles, all crafted with live cultures: Lemon Verbena Drop (lemon verbena, citron, and lemongrass); Shiso Mint Mojito (shiso, mint, and lime); Bergamot Blood Orange Fizz (blood orange, lemon, and bergamot); and Pom Pom Collins (pomegranate, pomelo, lemongrass, and thyme). Each of the four Riviera cocktail flavors are sold in four-packs of 12 oz cans for $10.99, or a variety pack of eight 12 oz. cans for $19.99.

In addition to the many progressive flavors the brand offers, another selling point is the fact that 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. All of which make Kyla a truly unique brand.

Simply put, Kyla is a brand worth sipping!
