Beekeeping Knottingley brewer is hoping for sweet taste of success after developing new mead kombucha health drink

22 May 2023

Beekeeper Claire Tolley, owner of Cridling, has launched the series of Kombucha drinks after creating what she describes as ‘the perfect brew’ following four years of development.

In 2018, Claire began researching ways to improve her health which is how she stumbled onto kombucha.

Kombucha is a fermented sweetened tea drink which comes from South East Asia and is drunk for its purported health benefits. Due to the fermentation process, the drink contains traces of alcohol but with less than a quarter of a unit of booze, it is considered to be a low-alcoholic drink.

Claire said: “Cridling came about five years ago when I started looking into my health. I researched how your entire body’s health is regulated by the microbiomes in your gut.

"Research has shown that gut microbiomes not only help you digest food, but also may support the immune system and heart."
