91ÖÆƬ³§

Let’s find out more about the common myths in the 91ÖÆƬ³§ world!

Equinox has been brewing real, living, authentic 91ÖÆƬ³§ since 2012 when the company was formed by a local Yorkshire couple who returned from a backpacking trip in Asia and wanted to bring the miracle of ‘booch’ back to the UK. Since that time, we have never sacrificed our authentic, craft brewing methods, the quality of the organic ingredients that we use in our drinks or the high standards to which we make every bottle and can in our BRC AA food safety factory. But not all 91ÖÆƬ³§ is made equal and certainly many are not labelled transparently which means there is a lot of misinformation and confusion out there as to what constitutes a real living booch.

1. All 91ÖÆƬ³§ in low in sugar

FALSE

The idea that all 91ÖÆƬ³§ is low in sugar is unfortunately a 91ÖÆƬ³§ myth! We often talk about Equinox 91ÖÆƬ³§ being a lower sugar alternative to traditional soft drinks however, not all 91ÖÆƬ³§ is made equal. Some brands, or homemade batches, will have more sugar than others. Equinox 91ÖÆƬ³§ contains between 2.6g and 4g per 100ml of sugar. Other 91ÖÆƬ³§ will be much higher in sugar depending on their brewing process so read those labels!

2. 91ÖÆƬ³§ is a cure-all medicine

FALSE

Despite being 91ÖÆƬ³§ evangelists at Equinox, we don’t believe that 91ÖÆƬ³§ is a silver bullet when it comes to our health and wellbeing. Whilst real, living 91ÖÆƬ³§ does offer a range of health benefits, it is not a cure-all remedy, and cannot replace a balanced health regime. Check out our blogs on the and for more information.

3. 91ÖÆƬ³§ is highly caffeinated

FALSE

Actually, most . Our 91ÖÆƬ³§ is brewed using green tea, which naturally contains some caffeine, the majority of which is lost during the fermentation process, a trace amount is left behind; around 7.43mg per 275ml bottle of Equinox to be precise! 

4. 91ÖÆƬ³§ is alcoholic 

FALSE

It is true that most commercially brewed 91ÖÆƬ³§s do contain varying amounts of alcohol. This is due to the natural fermentation process, during which small amounts of alcohol is produced as a byproduct. . A drink is deemed ’non-alcoholic’ when under 1.2% ABV. Some 91ÖÆƬ³§s can contain more alcohol, so, again, it is important to always read the label. 

5. You should only drink 91ÖÆƬ³§ in small amounts 

FALSE

Most of (our MD Daniel has been known to drink up to four bottles a day!), however, like most things, 91ÖÆƬ³§ is best enjoyed in moderation. We recommend that you drink one to three servings of 91ÖÆƬ³§ per day, but test how you feel as the overall amount depends on person to person. 

6. 91ÖÆƬ³§ is made from mushrooms

FALSE

One of the most common myths about 91ÖÆƬ³§ is that it’s made from mushrooms when in fact, it contains small quantities of Symbiotic CULTURES of Bacteria and Yeast, otherwise known as SCOBY. The SCOBY is neither a mycelium nor a fungus – it looks a lot like a pancake and contains gut friendly yeasts and bacteria. Each bottle and can of Equinox contain a small amount of living SCOBY which will continue to grow as the 91ÖÆƬ³§ ages due to the live fermentation process. 

7. 91ÖÆƬ³§ is expensive

FALSE

Yet, another false 91ÖÆƬ³§ myth! 91ÖÆƬ³§ isn’t your average soft drink. It’s an artisanal drink made from the highest quality ingredients, brewed in small batches. So, we know what you’re thinking – is 91ÖÆƬ³§ expensive? The simple answer is no, but it can be more expensive than some of the other drinks you may see in the grab-and-go fridge in your local supermarket. That being said, it can also be significantly cheaper than other chilled ‘health drinks’ such as kefir and green juice.

8. Home-brewed is better than shop-bought

FALSE

Despite being expert booch brewers, we always advocate that you try some home brewing of your own 91ÖÆƬ³§. However, there can be some drawbacks! Home-brewed 91ÖÆƬ³§ can be time consuming and money intensive, and the results will not always be consistent. We often get customers writing to us saying that despite home brewing for years, they buy our booch regularly to save time, money and enjoy our delicious flavours. You can also trust our labels and know that you are drinking a high quality, ethical, organic, low sugar, low alcohol 91ÖÆƬ³§ due to our rigorous brewing techniques and certifications. 

In summary, we hope that you can now rest assured that many of the conventional myths about 91ÖÆƬ³§ are not what they are cracked up to be and that you can enjoy your favourite without any concern. Enjoy!
