How many times have you been looking forward to a Sunday afternoon session with some mates, only to come to the sudden realisation that your boss told you to come in early on Monday morning? 😡

Well, Altered Cultures has you covered 😏. A 4-pack of KPA or Cultured Ginger Beer has only 2.8 standard drinks in total, meaning you can spend more time socialising and less time worrying about that hangover 😅.

Looking to cut down on alcohol consumption? By now, most people know that alcohol can be a harmful substance if consumed heavily on a regular basis. Your body will thank you in the long if you follow our simple tips for responsible alcohol intake 👇.

✅ Have a few alcohol free days per week
Break up the routine of after-work drinks 👉 An alternative couple be going for a walk or afternoon swim instead 🏃.

✅ Delay the first drink of your session. The earlier you start drinking, the more likely you are to consume dangerous amounts, and the worse you will feel in the morning 😬.

✅ If you’re off to a mate’s place, leave a few bevvies at home. By bringing less alcohol, you’re denying yourself the opportunity to binge-drink 👍.

✅ Keep your place stocked with quality non-alcoholic options. We suggest keeping a case of Kommunity Brew kombucha or sparkling probiotic water in your fridge at all times 😉.

How do we infuse flavours into Altered Cultures? The best way to explain this is also the most simple 🤔.⁠
⁠
KPA: We take our co-fermented kombucha/yeast base and add a blend of dried organic hops sourced from New Zealand. Hops add bitterness and aroma while acting as a slight natural preservative (the drink must still be kept refrigerated ❄️).⁠
⁠
Cultured Ginger Beer: In a similar process to our KPA, we use our co-fermented kombucha/yeast base and infuse it with a mix of fresh ginger, lemon 🍋 and cayenne pepper to give it a little extra kick 🌶️.

Did you know that the bottles used to contain Altered Cultures are made using recycled ♻️ glass ? We value our unique Australian environment and consistently aim to find ways to protect our fragile ecosystems 🌳. Although a small step, it is a step in the right direction for meeting our sustainability goal of being carbon neutral by 2025 🌏.

We all love Christmas and the pressies that come with it. As Australians, we spend around $11 billion dollars on gifts during the holiday season. In fact, we use more than 150,000km of wrapping paper - enough to wrap around the entire world 4 times! However, with so many gifts being exchanged, it is inevitable that we will see an increase in waste being produced. During the Christmas season, waste production increases by a whopping 30%. The main contributors to this are packaging materials, wrapping paper and food waste.

So, how can we improve this statistic and do our bit for the Aussie environment? Well, here are some tips:

- Send your friends and family emails and e-gift cards instead of physical cards
- Reuse wrapping paper (we know it is fun to tear apart your presents, but if you carefully remove its wrapping, you can save waste and money!)
- Save your leftovers: cured meats like ham can last over a week in the fridge if kept cold
- Reuse used jars and bottles (or alternatively drop them off at a bottle collection depot)
- Turn your vegetable waste into compost (this will keep your garden happy and healthy!)

From all of the staff at Altered Cultures, we’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. We hope today is a day of love and appreciation for friends and family (and presents!). However, it is also important to remember the people who are less fortunate, those who don’t have the luxury of spending the day with loved ones.

For that, we will remind our followers that Mission Australia is hosting Christmas Lunch in the Park, a charity event designed to provide Perth’s most disadvantaged with hope, companionship and compassion on Christmas Day. Since 1975, Mission Australia has served over 67,000 meals to the vulnerable through this event. If any of our followers are interested in donating a plate, please visit the Christmas Lunch in the Park website - you could make someone’s day for just $25.

With love,
Altered Cultures

As we’re sure most of you have noticed, it's been getting hotter and hotter over the last few weeks. With that said, it is our pleasure to formally announce the beginning of Summer! This is the best time of year to spend valuable time with friends, family and your significant others. We encourage you to cherish this beautiful weather and enjoy those golden sunsets with an ice-cold Altered Cultures (responsibly of course 😉).

When asked about the difficulties experienced in developing Altered Cultures and how they were overcome, here's what Mason Bagios, one of our founders and CEO had to say:

"Developing Altered Cultures required the letting go of traditional brewing approaches and breaking the rules most brewers try to stick to with single-yeast fermentation. You in see in most alcoholic products, brewers are introducing just one yeast, with a very specific purpose and making for a very clear expectation behind the behaviour of that yeast.

We threw that simplicity out of the window and strived to make something unpredictable, delectable.

This required a massive effort of co-fermenting different variations of yeast and bacteria.
Luckily our team were up to the challenge, even excited about breaking conventions.
We sampled brews using champagne yeast mixed with kombucha. Ale yeast mixed with Cider and every combination that the 12-month research window allowed. Most of what we do at a complex brewery like ours is iteration. It's not about getting it right the first time, it's about trying something 20 different ways, and then re-inventing the way as we learn more.

In the end, we managed to create a co-ferment that gets along really well together (when brewing) and creates all of the flavour attributions we were seeking. Fruitiness, Dryness, A bouquet and some body and dastardly moorish. But still a light - doing all of this and achieving a light-ABV product is extremely difficult, and not for those seeking a quick win.

That is the spirit in the team as well. We aren't about short-term wins but the learning process it takes, the tenacity of experimentation and the comfort with failure, makes our success all the more refreshing."

So we get asked all the time: "Who did we have in mind when we created Altered Cultures?⁠
⁠
The answer to that question is essentially anyone who over the age of 18 that loves tantalisingly flavour-packed beverages 🍻⁠
⁠
✅ This could be professionals who want to have a couple of mid-week drinks without the worry of the dreaded hangover.⁠
⁠
✅ It could be sober-curious people who want to slowly reduce their alcohol intake on a weekly basis.⁠
⁠
✅ It could be Sunday-session goers who want a bright, summery drink that compliments the crashing waves and golden sunset. ⁠
⁠
Altered Cultures is an all-inclusive brand that celebrates the Australian culture of brilliant food and drink, while making an effort to be more responsible in our consumption of alcohol.
