 It's been WAY too long since my last post! Well we are busy brewing our new batches at the kitchen. My son Aaron (age10) has been serving second in command for the last several weeks and is turning into an expert bottler. Plus he's making some good money to support his X-Box cravings. In the meantime we are working to connect with investors to bring our product to the next level. Please reach out if you have any ideas! We are still making small batches and building the MN market base. |

 Deane’s Kombucha is looking for an investor and/or business partner to continue our growth. After being re-licensed as an alcoholic beverage in early 2011, we have grown our business into two states; Minnesota and Wisconsin. We are looking to continue to expand into new markets, move into a larger production facility and hire a few team members to facilitate the growth.Kombucha is a growth industry (see trade article link from Beverage Spectrum below) that has great potential. It was a $200 million dollar industry in 2010 and trade projections anticipate Kombucha will be a $500 million dollar industry by 2015. |

 The R&D is near complete...Tonight Monica and I, with the help of Mike Rakun (opening Mill Valley Kitchen blocks from Lake Calhoun on Excelsior Blvd this June) tapped our 5 gallon keg and I think we have a winner. We had a small mechanical issue in which we needed a wrench, but Monica solved that by running around the corner to Trotter's Cafe to procure the necessary tool. Kombucha on Tap is a huge force in California, thanks to Lev's Original. Lev has been gracious enough to help my process along. |

Monica and I had another successful night at the kitchen on Friday night. We moved our bottling/brewing nights to Fridays and it is a great way to end the week! We now have 3 oak barrels back in operation and it's time to order some new supplies! This week we hope to announce where Deane's can be bought in the Twin Cities, and in the coming weeks we hope to have set up Distribution in Wisconsin. (Our neighbors next door make it quite a bit easier to sell "alcoholic" kombucha at the grocery stores. |
