It’s tasty and the bitter stuff sorta satisfies the desire to drink alcohol.

cheese_greater@lemmy.world on 01 May 2026 12:28 next collapse

Right? I ansolutely also do find it satisfies the itch that “wants/needs” a drink

Drusas@fedia.io on 02 May 2026 04:26 collapse

Bitter? Most of them are heavily fruit-flavored.

sem@piefed.blahaj.zone on 02 May 2026 12:36 collapse

Very sour, low pH

Drusas@fedia.io on 05 May 2026 02:23 collapse

Sour, yes. But not bitter.

Not a fan, but I get why other people sometimes like it.

What do you think about kefir?

Nemo@slrpnk.net on 01 May 2026 13:32 collapse

great for making pancakes

Not really? Instead of mixing regular yoghurt with water, just use drinkable yoghurt. Easy substitution.

I personally don’t like it that much. If I want probiotics, I’d rather ingest an alternative that isn’t gassy.

Beer is the most carbonated drink that I will enjoy, kombucha is just a bit too bubbly for my taste. But it kind of has a similar feeling to drink without getting drunk.

dumples@piefed.social on 01 May 2026 14:19 next collapse

I love it. I should get back into making it myself again. A perfect special beverage just don’t drink too much

cheese_greater@lemmy.world on 01 May 2026 14:22 collapse

Or else…

dumples@piefed.social on 01 May 2026 14:24 collapse

You’re gut will hate you. Will be too pro-biotic

buttmasterflex@piefed.social on 01 May 2026 18:11 next collapse

I like it. It produces the phenomenon of “bucha butt”

cheese_greater@lemmy.world on 01 May 2026 18:18 collapse

Dafuqs that?

buttmasterflex@piefed.social on 01 May 2026 21:54 collapse

The gas production as a result of drinking kombucha

cheese_greater@lemmy.world on 01 May 2026 22:10 next collapse

Ngl never experienced that highkey

Drusas@fedia.io on 02 May 2026 04:25 collapse

I don't think that's common.

Oh it doesn’t happen every time or anything. It’s more just what my wife and I call any fart the day after drinking kombucha.

I love it. Give me that funk baby. I want all those fermented foods that give me a healthy gut microbiome. Kombucha, Kimchi, sauerkraut, yogurt, and some kefir every now and again.

I don’t know if the different fermented foods end up fighting in my gut or they live as peaceful neighbors, but the more I eat the more I want.

Kolanaki@pawb.social on 01 May 2026 21:56 next collapse

I think it’s gross. It’s like alcohol without the fun.

cheese_greater@lemmy.world on 01 May 2026 22:09 collapse

I feel like alcohol is the alcohol without the fun

HubertManne@piefed.social on 02 May 2026 00:08 next collapse

never had it but sounds cool.

Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 02 May 2026 00:56 next collapse

I love it.

The local co-op by me has a bunch of them on tap! The pineapple one is my favorite

I like the idea of it, but most commercial brands upset my stomach.
