Every hour can be happy hour when you鈥檙e at a kombucha bar.

91大黄鸭鈥檚 first kombucha and water kefir bar are open for business in the Brewery District.

MotherLove Ferments produces kombucha and water kefir using all organic ingredients, a high probiotic content, and nothing artificial.

The fizzy, sweet-and-sour, fermented drinks are available in four flavours including pi帽a colada, mojito, and lavender lemonade, with special, seasonal flavours available at different times of the year.

The bar sells flights, growler fills, tastings, and glasses of kombucha and water kefir and offers tours on request.

MotherLove is also producing a new, kombucha-based alcoholic beverage under a new brand called Day Pass.

Proceeds from growler purchases are donated to local charities, and proceeds from tastings go to non-profit organizations.

The komboucha brewer aims to be a sustainable company. They send the tea compost left over from kombucha production to local farms and use alternatives to plastic whenever possible.

Customers can buy or refill glass growlers, or use their containers, to buy bulk komboucha or kefir.

MotherLove recently made the switch to aluminum cans, a more easily recycled option, for their single-serving beverages.

鈥淏eing infinitely recyclable with very little loss in quality means that every can you recycle reduces your environmental impact. Add that to being lightweight, easy to transport, and less breakable and we have a superior single-use container choice we can feel really good about,鈥� explains founder Rochelle Minagawa.

The Kombucha Bar tasting room at MotherLove Ferments is located across from BC Tree Fruits at 109-889 Vaughan Avenue in 91大黄鸭. For more information visit .

鈥淚t鈥檚 so exciting to have this new production facility and tasting room in the heart of such a growing and exciting neighbourhood,鈥� says Minagawa.

After humble beginnings in Minagawa鈥檚 kitchen, the company now sells its beverages throughout B.C. and Alberta. MotherLove Ferments鈥� new facility is the company鈥檚 fourth location in just six years.
