Flying Embers does have alcohol. In fact, it is a key ingredient in their beverages. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can tell you that Flying Embers takes great pride in creating high-quality alcoholic beverages that are both delicious and unique.
One of the main ingredients in Flying Embers' beverages is kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented tea that contains a colony of bacteria and yeast, also known as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). During the fermentation process, the yeast consumes the sugars in the tea and produces alcohol as a byproduct. This is what gives kombucha its slight alcoholic content.
However, Flying Embers takes the alcohol content a step further by blending their kombucha SCOBY with Champagne yeast. This addition of Champagne yeast helps to increase the alcohol content and create fine bubbles, giving their beverages a crisp and effervescent quality.
It's important to note that the alcohol content in Flying Embers' beverages can vary, depending on the specific flavor and brewing process. Generally, their products have an alcohol by volume (ABV) ranging from 4.5% to 7.2%. This puts them in the same range as many craft beers and hard ciders.
The use of Champagne yeast not only adds alcohol to the beverages, but it also contributes to the overall flavor profile. The yeast imparts a dry and crisp character, similar to that found in sparkling wines. This combination of flavors and textures creates a unique drinking experience that sets Flying Embers apart from other alcoholic beverages on the market.
Personally, I have had the pleasure of trying Flying Embers' products and I must say, they are truly exceptional. The flavors are well-balanced, the bubbles are lively, and the alcohol content adds a delightful kick. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with food, Flying Embers' beverages provide a refreshing and satisfying drinking experience.
To summarize, Flying Embers does indeed have alcohol in their beverages. Through the combination of kombucha SCOBY and Champagne yeast, they create a range of flavors with an alcohol content comparable to craft beers and hard ciders. The result is a unique and enjoyable drinking experience that is sure to please both kombucha enthusiasts and those looking for a refreshing alcoholic beverage.
