From a Gut Feeling to an Everyday Ritual
In 2019, Kirk was living an active lifestyle and eating well, but still felt off. He struggled with bloating, low energy, and a persistent low mood after meals.
Searching for a natural, non-medical solution, he recalled a friend introducing him to dairy kefir. The immediate difference inspired him to begin experimenting with fermented drinks at home.
After a few trials, Kirk discovered a non-dairy water kefir, a plant-based alternative that quickly became his daily go-to. Intrigued, he obtained a small batch of water kefir grains and began crafting this refreshing beverage in his kitchen, fermenting it in the warm laundry room basin.
The transformation was real: no more post-meal heaviness, a more balanced mood, and an overall sense of wellness. word spread, and soon, his once tiny batches became a community favourite, giving rise to what we now know as "Kirk's Probiotic's."
The success of Kirk's Probiotic's wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of our community.
We are proudly brewed in BC, built on passion, fermentation, and the desire to share good culture with everyone.
