Our Drinks
Are L.A Brewery drinks non-alcoholic?
Drinks are classified as non-alcoholic up to 0.5% ABV. This is because when the ABV is below this level, the alcohol is metabolised by the body faster than we can feel any effect.
Our drinks are around 0.2-0.3% alcohol by volume (ABV), below the 0.5% threshold.
All drinks are classified in this way - the same 0.5% ABV threshold is used to classify non-alcoholic beers, for example. Lots of things you eat daily contain higher traces of alcohol than 0.5%, such as very ripe bananas or rye bread.
How many calories are in L.A Brewery drinks?
L.A Brewery drinks are typically around 15kcals per 100ml.
Details of ingredients and nutritional information for each of our drinks can be found on the individual product pages.
Is L.A Brewery safe to drink whilst pregnant?
In short, yes. L.A Brewery drinks are produced in a controlled, regulated environment with strict quality and food safety standards. Concerns about kombucha during pregnancy are generally linked to home-brewed products, which carry a risk of contamination from harmful bacteria, such as Listeria, if the fermentation process is not properly controlled.
Because L.A Brewery products are commercially produced under regulated conditions, they do not carry the same risks associated with home-brewed kombucha and are considered safe to consume during pregnancy.
If you have any concerns or questions about consuming fermented drinks during pregnancy, we recommend speaking with your GP for personalised advice.
Are L.A Brewery drinks vegan?
Yes, our drinks are vegan, sulphite-free, and non-GM.
Do L.A Brewery drinks contain caffeine?
The caffeine content in L.A Brewery drinks is minimal, and equivalent to that of a decaf coffee or green tea. During fermentation, bacteria and yeasts will break down the naturally occurring caffeine. Most kombucha available in shops, will contain around 8-10mg per 300ml - far less than a cup of coffee (95g).
What's the shelf life of the drinks?
Our drinks last up to 12 months from production. Best enjoyed chilled - store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, our 750ml bottles, if sealed with a good Champagne stopper, will last with carbonation up to 2-3 days in the fridge.
