Thrive Kombucha Podcast: Recent Episodes
Thrive Kombucha
Elijah, Tre, & Trevor, are professional commercial kombucha brewers in Lexington, Kentucky at Thrive Kombucha. We have a passion to create products that nourish healthy, active, and adventurous lifestyles in our local community. Tune in every week to learn about tricks of the trade for brewing kombucha from 1-gallon mason jars to 200-gallon beasts. There will be interviews with kombucha brewers, enthusiasts, pros, and other friends, discussing topics like fermentation, flavoring, entrepreneurship, and building a business in the new frontiers of the kombucha industry. Find us on all platforms.
We are going to be taking a break. We started off by trying to make mini-episodes but as things kept growing and moving in the business we felt it better to just hit pause for the remainder of the summer season.
We'll be back in just a few short months with all that we have game planning and implementing for you, the listeners and customers. Thank you!
