The Drink: Mombucha

Mombucha is Rich Awn’s artisanal kombucha (a rich fermented tea brew that dates back to the Qin Dynasty) brewed, bottled and labeled by hand at “Magick City,” his commercial brewery located in Greenpoint and site of this Nightcap Riot.

As part of the evening’s festivities, Rich will offer a tour of his brewery, tastings of various Mombucha varietals (including Black Vanilla, Gingermint and Orange Blood) and even teach Nightcap Rioters how to brew their own kombucha.

Nightcap Riot will feature Mombucha-focused cocktails throughout the evening at a unique bar curated by Rich and special VIP guests from NYC’s culinary scene. All attendees of Nightcap Riot will also receive a 10 oz Mombucha bottle and a Kombucha starter kit to take home at the conclusion of the festivities.
