My passion for culinary exploration has always been a driving force in my life. Paired with my background as an Athletic Trainer and my regular participation in athletic events, food and beverages have consistently played a pivotal role in fueling and supporting my active lifestyle. While I once spent countless hours on a triathlon bike, I now find joy on a mountain bike, running trails, paddling waterways, casting a line, or camping.
In 2018, I made a conscious decision to cut back on traditional carbonated drinks and discovered the world of fermented beverages. The low sugar content and probiotic benefits of kombucha immediately resonated with me. What began as a personal quest for healthier hydration quickly evolved into a passion for sharing kombucha with others — blending my love for adventure, wellness, and craft fermentation.
Currently, there’s a large gap in the market for healthy drink alternatives to soda and alcohol on draft in NWA. My goal with Ferm is to provide locally crafted functional draft beverages to the community. Whether you’re out socializing with friends or working from an office, with Ferm, you don’t have to sacrifice taste when making a healthy choice.
At Ferm, we select a blend of organic black and green teas as the foundation for our brew, creating a smooth, antioxidant-rich base for every flavor we craft. Our goal is to meet people where their taste buds are — purposefully brewing kombucha without the sharp, vinegary bite often associated with traditional kombucha. The result is a balanced, approachable, and refreshing beverage that even first-timers can enjoy.
Right now, we’re focused on supplying Northwest Arkansas with non-alcoholic, probiotic-rich draft beverage options. Whether you’re out with friends, on a lunch break, or looking for a healthier happy hour swap, we believe you should have a delicious choice between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks when you're out and about.
You can find us on tap at your favorite bars, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and offices across NWA. Don’t see us where you’d like to? Submit a request below — we’d love to hear from you!
