We’ve Launched Our First Crowdfunder — Be Part of Our Story

We’ve Launched Our First Crowdfunder — Be Part of Our Story

Bold flavour, small-batch craft, and a big step forward. Join us as we scale up and bring our award-winning kombucha to more fridges across the UK.

Our story so far

At Monty Booch, we believe kombucha should be more than just “good for you”. It should be bold, refreshing and downright delicious — the sort of drink you look forward to. Founded by James and Shauna in Buckingham in 2024, we’ve spent the last year crafting vibrant, adventurous flavours and brewing each bottle with care.

We’re proud to say our efforts were recognised in 2025 when Monty Booch was awarded 2 stars at the Great Taste Awards. That accolade reaffirmed what we’ve always felt: our kombucha isn’t just healthy — it tastes great too.

Why we’re crowdfunding

Thanks to the amazing support from our early customers, demand is growing, our capacity is full — and we’re ready to scale. Our Crowdfunder will help us make three key moves:

  • Move into our new frumentary — a larger dedicated space where we can brew more efficiently and sustainably.
  • Invest in larger fermenters — so we can increase output while keeping the small-batch quality you love.
  • Add a small bottling line — to speed up production, reduce waste and get Monty Booch into more shops, cafés and homes.

This isn’t just about equipment — it’s about growing a local, independent brand that puts flavour, craft and community first.

Rewards that bring you closer

We’ve designed rewards that are fun, meaningful and true to what Monty Booch is all about. Backers can choose from a range of options, including:

  • Branded Waiter’s Friends and bottle openers
  • 6-month and 12-month supply bundles
  • Hands-on fermentation workshops and tastings at our new fermentary
  • An exclusive five-course dinner with the founders, paired with our kombucha
  • An elite tier where you can work with us to create and name a seasonal flavour — and receive the first case

Whether you want a simple sampler or a once-in-a-lifetime behind-the-scenes experience, there’s a reward for every level of support.

Be part of our next chapter

If you love a great non-alcoholic alternative, care about craft and provenance, or simply want to back a local food and drink maker, we’d be honoured to have you with us. Your pledge will help Monty Booch grow without losing the handcrafted quality and flavour-led spirit that got us here.

Support our Crowdfunder

Thank you for believing in small-batch flavour and the power of good drinks shared with good people. — James & Shauna, Monty Booch
