The UK’s original kombucha label, GO Kombucha, is up for sale. I first came across the brand back in November 2018 when I visited Liverpool. In October 2023, I interviewed founder Gary Leigh . You can find more information about the company’s background and history on the GO Kombucha website.

Founder, Gary Leigh, writes:

After 22-plus years paving the way and setting the standard for authentic kombucha tea sold commercially throughout the UK, the time feels right for me to move on to new challenges and adventures.

I am delighted to say that I will be departing the business in rude health and I expect to finalize the sale in early 2026.

GO Kombucha, established 2003, is not just any old kombucha.It’s the UK’s most respected and revered UK booch brand made for the sophisticated adult palate; 100% authentic kombucha transited in glass bottles over 22 years to a discerning clientele.

The buyer will inherit a business that is debt free and fulfilling the demand for natural, lower sugar drinks, gut health, and can be drunk as an alternative to alcohol.

If you are a start-up, the sale will include our entire equipment and material stock; from brewing vessels, 300L stainless steel kettles and a 700L brewing tank to material stock including reinforced packing cases and dividers.

As part of the sale the equipment can be transported anywhere in the UK and set up in your designated workspace fitted with required number of power points, drainage, etc. to go. My head brewer and I will teach you our closely-guarded, finely-tuned and finessed process and scientifically evaluated secrets over the course of several days, enabling you to continue our fine tradition seamlessly, with on-hand advice just a phone call away.
