Bread kvass

It tastes of dark rye, a little sour, a little sweet. People who say it tastes of bread are right.

Fermented sodas

Two that we make all year and two that only exist while the trees and bushes allow. Each case is a single flavour unless you ask for the mix. Like the kvass, they are lower in sugar than the lemonade in your fridge, because the yeast has eaten most of it.

  • Year-round

    Rhubarb & cardamom

    Sharp at the front and warm behind it. Green cardamom keeps the rhubarb from turning simply sour.

    All year€44 a case

  • Year-round

    Blackcurrant leaf

    Not the berry. The leaf, which tastes of the bush in July: green, resinous and very dry.

    All year€44 a case

  • Seasonal

    Birch sap

    Sap from the first weeks of spring, fermented while it is fresh. Barely sweet and faintly woody, and only here while the trees are running.

    April and May only€52 a case

  • Seasonal

    Sea buckthorn & honey

    Orange, tart and rounded with a little honey. The autumn soda, for the weeks when nobody wants lemonade any more.
