Malternatives

Strainge Beast is rooted in a lifelong love of fermentation—its art, its madness, its taste. The creatures emerged at Chico Fermentation Project, an offshoot of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Here our brewers, with their wild imaginations, chase ideas and take on beastly challenges. And hard kombucha happens to be one helluvan undertaking. Alongside natural, organic fruits and botanicals are unwieldy strains of bacteria and yeast. It’s a tricky fusion, a Strainge Beast indeed, but that’s our sweet spot. The thrill of creating, of taming unruly science, defines our history of craft brewing excellence.
