With the rise in popularity of kombucha over the years, it was only a matter of time until there was a festival dedicated solely to the fermented drink. And this August 23rd to the 25th is that time. Boochfest is coming to Montreal - a two-day spotlight on all things kombucha related. This is the second year in a row for Boochfest to hit Montreal. It doesn't matter if you're a fan of the drink or not, Boochfest has a lineup of local Montreal musicians and a slew of other activities that will make it worthwhile. Kombucha is a fermented, sweetened black or green tea drink that has a unique (for lack of a better word) and very specific flavour. It's definitely a love it or hate it beverage.

Chose your ingredients with intention. Find a combination that elevates the already perfect kombucha! Experience our kombucha mocktails and live kombucha mixology at BOOCHFEST this year.

Our #kombucha journey started two years ago when we had our first sip of @artizenkombucha! 🤯 and ❤️ at first sip. We decided to share this experience with others and bring together the kombucha world under one roof. We are so grateful for the open arms that the kombucha community has welcomed us with! Looking forward to seeing everyone at this year’s #kombuchafestival. Happy brewing, happy tasting and cheers to a bubbly weekend. 🙏 Drew and Samira . . . . . . #kombuchabrewing #kombuchalove #kombuchabrasil #kombuchatea #kombuchalover #kombuchaaddict #yoga #healthyfood #fermentation #lactofermentation #fermentedfoods A post shared by BOOCHFEST (@kombuchafestival) on Mar 22, 2019 at 2:29am PDT All the big names in the industry will be there like Y Kombucha, RISE, Island Fools, GT, Gutsy, LAO and Humm.
