The fact that something is alcohol-free means that it must contain less than 0.5% alcohol. This amount is also referred to as residual alcohol and is physically insignificant for most people. ARENSBAK produces non-alcoholic products.

We strive to achieve a minimal alcohol content, but there is a very small amount of residual alcohol in ARENSBAK, which originates from our fermentation. But this is no more than 0.5%.

Fermentation has been used for millennia. The use of fermentation dates back to the Paleolithic, when food was preserved, and the process was also used in the production of beverages. Read more about fermentation.

ARENSBAK uses a fermentation on the basis of Kombucha, which is a natural process that doesn’t produce much alcohol. The alcohol that is produced is transformed into organic acids resulting in a profile with an amazing fermented flavour. Our expertise in brewing the perfect Kombucha base ensures that ARENSBAK stays below a 0.5% alcohol content, after which ARENSBAK is pasteurised to maintain quality over time.

‍

All ARENSBAK drinks are vegan friendly.

"Proxies are multi-layered compositions of every imaginable ingredient, sometimes produced using different fermentation methods. Kombucha, kvass or water kefir, juicesfrom fruits or vegetables, teas, hydrolates or infusions of herbs, flowers and spices can be the basis or ingredients of these exciting cuvées. In their complexity and feel, these non-alcoholic alternatives are modeled on the experience of great wines, but without trying to copy or imitate them." (Mindfuldrinking.club)
