Kombucha on tap relies on the same draft technology as beer and wine. With the pull of a handle, kegged kombucha held in cold storage is forced by way of gas pressure through food-safe lines to a waiting glass. Kegging your kombucha requires less time and packaging than bottling. Kegs and the growlers people use to transport draft kombucha are entirely reusable.
Kombucha is similar to beer in that it tastes fantastic on tap. According to experts, beverages on tap are more protected from light, temperature fluctuations and long shelf storage, all of which can impact flavor.
Known as ‘booch’ among fans of the sweet and sour drink, kombucha’s popularity is undeniable. With an expected growth trend of $5 billion by 2025, this probiotic-rich fermented sweetened black or green tea is one of the fastest growing beverages.
Following the hype of kombucha, many business owners are clamoring to make it accessible for their customers, and for home brewers who want to add it to their collection.
Kombucha is a fermented product, therefore carbonated, and very similar to beer. Thus, when dispensing kombucha from a kegerator or other short direct draw system, CO2 will normally be the pressure source for propelling product through system while maintaining the recipe of carbonation.
As business owners want to make this drink accessible for their customers, it is common to spot kombucha in grocery aisles, usually in single-serve glass bottles or aluminum cans. However due to the trend, many brewers landed a better method in storing and serving this unique beverage: kegging and serving kombucha on tap.

All things considered, the best way to serve kombucha is on tap. It’s easier to process, economical, and it encourages bonding between you and your customers. Some offices are also starting to serve kombucha on tap to their workplace to energize their employees and to communicate appreciation for their hard work.
If you are a fan of kombucha, we recommend going with kegs instead of bottles. You can save more time with the process, and you can worry less about sanitation.
