About REAL
REAL began when founder, David Begg, had all but given up drinking. A big lover of food, David found he missed the joy of pairing great wine with great food, and increasingly noticed that people choosing not to drink were not catered for in any serious, sophisticated manner. When a friend introduced him to an earthy, rich, oolong kombucha, he realised there might be a real alternative.
They worked closely with wine makers, champagne makers, beer brewers and microbiologists around the world to perfect both the art and science and create perfect brew. Detailed microbiology, DNA testing, chemical analysis and experimentation with 150 different teas until he came up with the finest in fermentation.
REAL is changing the way people drink. In a market where people are becoming more considerate of their sugar consumption, there are few genuine alternatives to a sophisticated alcoholic beverage that offers both flavour and the same celebratory moment.
