About Authentic Brew
Authentic Brew is a functional drink co-founded by Mike Mudie and Andy Ramage in the UK, inspired by Mudie’s personal journey of recovery from burnout. The brand was established to fill a gap in the market for a 100% natural, high-potency functional beverage, and aims to ‘rewild people and places’ by donating a portion of profits to conservation efforts.
The drink is crafted using a ‘precision-brew’ approach, combining ancient botanical wisdom with modern nutritional science. It features an organic fermented kombucha extract as its base, which is described as the ‘living heart’ of the formula. The drink is made from carbonated water, deionised grape juice, and a proprietary blend of functional ingredients, including organic Reishi, Chaga, and Lion’s Mane extracts.
Authentic Brew is available in 250 ml cans and is sold in various bundle sizes, such as 6, 12, and 24 packs. The brand emphasizes that the drink is vegan, gluten-free, and free from caffeine and added sugars, making it a healthy option for those seeking an energy boost without the crash associated with traditional energy drinks.
The drink has already garnered some media attention, being featured in Wavelength Surf Magazine and appearing in trade directories. It has also been recognized as a Regional Finalist in the UK StartUp Awards for 2026, highlighting its growing presence in the functional beverage market.
The brand positions Authentic Brew as a daily ritual for mind, body, and soul, promoting benefits such as sharper focus, sustained energy, and better digestion. While specific serving suggestions are not provided, the producer encourages consumers to make it a part of their daily routine.
