The Backstory: Kombucha On Tap™
Kombucha On Tap™ (KOT) was launched in early 2014 by two people who were brand new to the kombucha and beverage industry. While they had limited distribution experience, they knew they could provide a much-needed service in Southern California of bringing kombucha on tap to places that wanted it.
Jared and Deanne Gustafson started Kombucha On Tap™ in San Diego delivering kegs of local kombucha to businesses who wanted to sell the popular health drink on tap. KOT has grown to include an incredible team of hardworking, healthy-minded individuals. The company is headquartered in Vista, CA, and has a hub in Los Angeles as well. The company's motto is "we drink on the job" and one of the core values is "people over profits."
Kombucha & Coffee On Tap Commitment
No crisis or troubling situation could stop KOT from continuing its community give-back programs. KOT donated kegs and kegerators to first responders and front line workers, they also added a growler donation link on orderkombucha.com so anyone could pay-it-forward with the purchase of growlers for a front line worker and have it delivered.
Kombucha On Tap™ is also committed to giving back to the community and has helped shelter dogs, the homeless, first responders, and health care heroes among others.
