The Face Behind the Brews

Meet Adam Benziger

After graduating with a degree in hospitality management, Adam pursued his interest in fermentation science with positions in the craft beverage industry. He starting brewing Kombucha at home due to digestive issues and with the support of his family, launched Laughing Gut in 2018.

Brewing is both an art and a science. As with any recipe, there are basic techniques and rules to follow, but each brewer adds their own unique spin to differentiate themselves from other Kombucha products on the market. Adam strives to capture the essence of Kombucha without masking its authentic tartness with sweetened fruit juices or too many competing flavors. Our philosophy at Laughing Gut is simple and straightforward: brew a delicious base with a variety of great teas and botanicals –let it naturally ferment– add fresh organic herbs and spices – and gently carbonate.

Laughing Gut’s very own Adam Benziger sits down with Duff McDonald and Matt McButter of How to Tickle Yourself Podcast to talk all things kombucha.

The Tea

         It’s All About the Tea

Tea is the main ingredient in Kombucha and each brew starts with a big batch of sweetened tea. As a tea-forward brand, we focus on using a variety of organically-grown, high-quality loose leaf teas in our recipes, including black, green, white, oolong, and pu’ehr. Each type of tea adds its own unique properties to a brew. Herbal teas (botanicals) such as Chamomile, Butterfly Pea Flower and Rooibos are used to flavor our batches along with herbs and spices.
