JuneShine Hard Kombucha - Organic. 6% ABV. Gluten-Free.

We crafted JuneShine to quench the thirst of the active, healthy, and adventurous spirit while positively impacting the environment. Each unique flavor is brewed with real organic ingredients, rich in probiotics and antioxidants. Real. Refreshing.

Not a huge fan of kombucha in general (my wife loves it) but I did try this place out last summer and had a flight. Some were actually pretty tasty. For the most part I will stick to beer but I do think this is a better beer alternative than the hard seltzers that seem to be taking over. Hard komucha definitely have more flavor than hard seltzer.

This is very sad, I lived in San Diego for 13 years and still consider it a second home. But, to be very honest, this doesn't surprise me at all. I experienced more (real) antisemitism during my time in San Diego than I had in my entire life previous to living there. It's just reality that outside of LA and New York it's just more common (although I have experienced it in LA too - particularly during my time at USC which has a history of looking the other way at bigotry when it's directed at Jews).
