USA. Luna Bay Booch has partnered with global hospitality company Delaware North to introduce its hard kombucha beverage into airport retail. The drink will be initially available at three major US international airports – Los Angeles, Denver and Austin-Bergstrom.
The 6% ABV products come in cans and are made from Yerba Mate tea, fresh fruits and herbs. They are available in three flavours: Hibiscus Lavender, Palo Santo Blueberry and Grapefruit Jalapeno.
Luna Bay Booch is the only female-owned and operated hard kombucha brand. The company’s CEO and Co-Founder Bridget Connelly said: “When consumers open their refrigerators, the shelves are always stacked with innovative, trendy products.
“My team at Luna Bay Booch is on a mission to bridge that gap between what consumers have come to enjoy from the comfort of their home with what they indulge in at concerts, sporting events, and now while travelling through airports.
“We are grateful for the support of Delaware North for giving us the opportunity to offer travellers our sky-high sips.”
Delaware North Travel Division Vice President of Food & Beverage Thor Kritsky said: “We are thrilled to partner with Luna Bay Booch to bring their naturally brewed hard kombucha to the airport space.”
He added: “We were immediately impressed equally by the deliciousness and uniqueness of their products – and the level of thoughtfulness behind their ingredient selection and brewing process. This is an exciting addition to the airport hospitality landscape.”
Luna Bay Booch donates 1% of all sales to 1% for the Planet, which distributes funds to non-profit environmental organisations.
Delaware North operates food and retail services at 22 airports in the US.
