KISMET KOMBUCHA began in a kitchen cupboard.  

 

As an avid kombucha drinker, Brewmaster Jake developed an at home brewing hobby- much to the distaste of me (his wife Becky)!  The kitchen got a little too stinky at times!  Our daughter, Ella, even coined the process as a “yeast infection in a jar”.  Yes, she was 16 at the time.  We all watched the “science experiment” continue to evolve over time.  The brew kept getting better and better.  The kids and I even started drinking it (this includes a 5 year old!).  Turns out, it was pretty good!  On any given day, Jake was sampling his home brew.  Whether it was in a staff meeting with coworkers or on the sidelines of a soccer match, he wanted to know how he could improve his craft.

 

During this same time, my brother and sister in law (Mike & Erin) moved “home” to Iowa.  A place they have not lived in over 20 years!  Guess where they moved?  Under 3 miles away from us!  As our families reconnected, the booch became a common hobby for everyone.  Some were more interested in the brewing, and others…in the drinking!  

 

In a whirlwind of life events that aligned in the perfect time and perfect place, Kismet Kombucha was born.  

 

Staying close to home, we opened our brewery in Grimes, Iowa.  

 

As a local, family owned, and operated brewery; we love to source as many of our teas and flavorings from other local, family owned small businesses.  We pride ourselves in brewing unique, bold flavors with high quality ingredients that we feel confident in giving to our own kids.   

 

We have enjoyed our journey so far and can’t wait to meet some of you along the way!

Enjoy life.

Enjoy each other.

Enjoy the booch!
