Founder & Director
Herbel Crest Ltd (T/A King of Kefir)
Ardee, Ireland
Europe’s first dedicated organic water kefir facility, brewing natural full flavoured soft drinks, teeming with gut friendly bacteria.
When Gerry Scullion was made redundant in 2012, it gave him an opportunity to pursue his interest in fermenting and brewing. He decided he’d like to develop healthy fermented non-alcoholic drinks.
This was drawn from his own experience, because whenever he wanted a soft drink in a pub, he was limited to high-sugar brands, full of artificial flavours. Working from home, Gerry found he could make a delicious drink from a culture called Water Kefir, which has the added benefit of containing gut friendly cultures. His next step was to open a small production facility in The Chocolate Factory (a shared area for creatives and start-ups in Dublin). Since then the business moved in 2022 to a larger dedicated brewery space to allow further scale up and growth and where we also launched the product in 330ml cans.
Gerry is interested in ‘a new drinking culture’, changing people’s views and offering them a tempting, healthy, soft-drink alternative, full of beneficial bacteria and yeast.
Water kefir is a live culture fermented beverage which is teeming with beneficial and gut friendly bacteria and yeast.
We use organic ingredients and our drinks are very lightly sweetened using a tea infusion from stevia plant leaves.
Each bottle and can takes 14 days to fizz up, as they carbonate through a natural process called bottle conditioning.
Our drinks are gluten free and dairy free, vegan and are suitable diabetics.
