Old Tree Brewery

Record amounts of the finest botanical foraged and fermented Kombucha in all the land being produced right here!!! 🙌

We are working our socks off in the office to fulfil all the rewards from our campaign but also managing a big rise in sales.

We have made all the drinks for the Drink the Seasons 📦 founding members and are just waiting for the final labels 🏷️ to drop before sending them out , but that’s the next post.

This is an announcement 📣 that Old Tree Kombucha Production has quadrupled since the end of winter! This is good thing and is what we want to be doing all year round but we’ve discovered the seasonality of thirst…

This is why we invented DRINK THE SEASONS, so we can carry on creating livelihoods in foraging and fermentation all year round …

Fermentation and Foraging are OUR CRAFTS and part of a shared culture that belongs to all@of us and are not on the table in the AI movement to replace people with machines.

Industrial food will try and paint a different picture but out mission is reviving seasonal and human-scale fermentation and for this we need a model that is replicable and desirable. This means we need to be able to create salaries that support people all year round, not just when you lot are extra thirsty!

Thanks to our recent campaign and 10 years of trying really hard - it feels like it’s starting to happen 😀 Old Tree is growing and it’s all to play for 😊

Huge thanks to all our customers online and offline for every bottle of you buy. You are part of our life support system - our symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast or our mycelium network, if you will!

You’ll find this Kombucha arriving at your door if you visit our website or in some of the best independent shops, hotels and food outlets in all the land - and many more. If your interested in stocking Kombucha made from British oak leaves and locally farmed healing herbs - drop us an message below and we’ll send you our trade price list, or visit our website to get home delivery 🍺✨

Today, at about 4pm 🕓 Tai opened the door of the brewery and shouted ‘WE MADE IT’

This was a huge moment for us that we will never forget.

We needed to raise this money to give our social enterprise the economic capacity and resilience to adapt to these incredibly challenging times. We’re so inspired by our idea to DRINK THE SEASONS, but the truth is, the success of this Crowdfunder campaign was also a a survival necessity for our small business.

We are so relived to have made it !!
We are an officially a COMMUNITY SUPPORTED BREWERY !! 🤗✨🍻😁🥂🫶🌸🐝💫

Thanks to all our supporters. Just over 3 days left now! Every donation is still doubled by Aviva UK and amplifies our impact 🌍💚
