Kombucha Brooklyn makes probiotic kombucha tea beverages, including 12-ounce ready-to-drink kombucha and kombucha on tap. It also offers home brew supplies.
FermentoriumFermentorium makes caffeine-free kombucha by flavoring the brew with whole, fresh ingredients before fermentation, letting its culture shape the final taste. The company offers its live-probiotic drinks in five-gallon kegs for wholesale, with flavors such as Ginger Mint and Blueberry Lavender. Its pre-fermentation approach distinguishes the New York maker from conventional kombucha producers, whose tea is typically flavored after fermentation.
Unified FermentsUnified Ferments brings tea production and fermentation together to make non-alcoholic beverages from single-origin teas, using kombucha fermentation to draw out the character of the leaves rather than treating tea as a supporting ingredient. Its 750mL bottles are designed to be served in stemware, offering a food-friendly alternative to wine with expressions such as Jasmine Green and Snow Chrysanthemum. The Brooklyn-based brand’s bottles are served by restaurants including Eleven Madison Park, Atomix and Kato.BROOKLYN, NY

Its lineup also includes mix-in stick packs, giving the company’s probiotic and energy formulas an on-the-go format alongside its ready-to-drink bottles. Karma’s products are sold through retailers nationwide as well as direct hydration kits.
Brooklyn Brew ShopBorn at the Brooklyn Flea in 2009, Brooklyn Brew Shop makes compact, stove-top beer-making kits and ingredient mixes that bring all-grain brewing into small city kitchens. Founders Erica Shea and Stephen Valand have expanded that idea into a Brooklyn-based food startup offering home fermentation kits for cider, sparkling wine and other foods, while teaching brewing classes and judging beer competitions. Their reusable one-gallon kits are designed to simplify the process without stripping away the craft.BROOKLYN, NY
