Kombucha on Draft at Roam
Roam Artisan Burgers (1785 Union Street) is already regarded as one of the city’s premiere destinations for gourmet ground beef, but it might surprise you to learn that they’re one of the only places in the Bay offering Kombucha on draft.
The probiotic culture that’s all the rage these days has developed quite a fanbase in our fine city. Admittedly, I’ve been somewhat reluctant to hop on the Kombucha train. It’s pronounced vinegar characteristics just don’t seem to agree with my palate. Kombucha Botanica helped redefine the experience for me, with an array of flavors that are defined by refreshing characteristics more so than any type of pungent sourness. Even more impressive is that this brand of Kombucha possesses more antioxidants than most standard varieties. So aside from being tastier, it’s also healthier.
Roam regularly offers Kombucha Organica but if you make your way to the Cow Hollow eatery over the next week or so, you’ll also find a Sarsaparilla kombucha on-tap. Boasting the wintergreen tones of a root beer, Surf City’s brand of kombucha is a unique take on this healthy elixir that provides a robust and satisfying finish to the neighborhood’s best organic burger.
Thank you Brad Japhe and SFSTATION for the praise above. YES, Kombucha Botanica is redefining kombucha based on scientific facts and epicurean zeal. Thank you for noting the unparalleled antioxidant quality of our kombucha. Also, very important to note is the superior organic acid profile present in our kombucha. The reason for the smooth and non-vinegary flavor is the fact that our kombucha is greater in acetic acid with gluconic and sussinic acids as well. These organic acids support healthy gut function and pH balance in the blood and gut. All other kombucha that tastes vinegary is dominated by lactic acid which imparts the sour, vinegar flavor. Lactic acid in high amounts does not support optimal gut health nor pH balance and can contribute to acidosis. Kombucha Botanica is fermented using a preserved ancient kombucha symbiosis in a unique process to convert antioxidants and minerals to a bio-available form. If you really want a functional kombucha beverage for optimal health, you need to accept that the vinegary status quo does not deliver. Kombucha Botanica is pleasant to drink and offers all that the “elixir of immortality” is supposed to be. Try our newest flavor Surf City Sarsaparilla (root beer-esque) at Roam Artisan Burger and many of the Whole Foods Markets in the SF Bay Area- you will find our kombucha on tap at the coffee/juice bar area.
Healthy regards, Adam
