                                While most kombucha sold in grocery stores contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV), an intentional second fermentation process creates a separate, regulated category of beverage called 'hard kombucha' that can contain 4% ABV or higher. This higher alcohol kombucha offers a zesty alternative to beer or cider for those seeking a fermented option with a buzz.
