Crested Bucha

Mountain Mule, a spicy blend of organic white tea, Peruvian ginger, mint, and fresh lime, anchors the menu at Crested Bucha’s Fermentation Lounge in Gunnison. The business brews its kombucha slowly in small batches using high-quality, organically grown ingredients, keeping the product raw and live with no preservatives. Patrons visit this neighborhood favorite to sip craft kombucha alongside an extensive beer list, cocktails, wines, and spirits. The lounge serves small bites and shareable snacks that pair with the fizzy, probiotic-rich beverages. Monthly live music events draw crowds to unwind in the cozy setting. Crested Bucha emphasizes sustainability through reusable stainless steel kegs and glass growlers, which reduce waste compared to single-use cans and bottles. Customers can take kombucha to go in these vessels, enjoying the brand’s flavors at home. The Fermentation Lounge operates Thursday through Saturday from 3 pm to 10 pm, offering a consistent schedule for locals and visitors seeking refreshment on the Western Slope.
