“If you brew it, they will come.” 🍁 That’s been the motto behind Vancouver kombucha brand Hoochy ’Booch since the early days. What started as homemade kombucha in 2013 grew beyond what Kristin Zerbin and Liam Moore could produce at home. By 2015, they needed their own brewery space. More than a decade later, they’re still brewing — and still growing. 🎙️ In Episode 22 of Canada Now, we get into the story behind @hoochybooch — from home brewing and farmers markets to expanding into Whole Foods locations across B.C. And the realities of growing a Canadian food and beverage business along the way. 🍁 Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get podcasts. CANADA NOW 🍁🎙️ ▶️ Links in bio!

Getting your product into major grocery stores sounds like a huge milestone. But what does it actually cost to get there? 👀 For food and beverage founders, landing a major retail account can mean more than simply producing and delivering a bigger order. There can be listing fees, free initial inventory, and payment terms that leave businesses waiting months to get paid. Kristin Zerbin, founder of Vancouver-based kombucha brand Hoochy ’Booch, shares some of the financial realities of expanding into larger grocery chains. An interesting perspective whether you’re selling at farmers markets, approaching independent retailers, or hoping to see your product on major grocery shelves. 🇨🇦 And with so much enthusiasm for supporting Canadian brands right now, it’s worth understanding what it takes to get those products into stores. 🎙️ NEW on Canada Now: What It Really Takes to Scale a Canadian Business — with Hoochy ’Booch The full episode includes a special follow-up update as Hoochy ’Booch launches in Whole Foods locations across B.C. ▶️ Watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get podcasts.

This is not a sponsored post.
But I’d like it to be. 👀 Canada Now is an independent podcast. 🍁 No sponsors. No production team. Just me, some mics, a great studio (shoutout @podfathercreative), a growing collection of conversations with interesting Canadians… …and an increasingly complicated relationship with editing software. 😅 My latest episode, featuring the founders of Vancouver’s Hoochy ‘Booch, easily took me 25+ hours to edit over several days. I’m getting pretty damn good at Adobe Premiere Pro. But — I’m NOT a pro. And frankly, I’d rather spend less time becoming one. 😂 I believe in what I’m building. That’s why I keep doing it. I want to keep bringing Canadian founders, business leaders, innovators, and interesting thinkers into the conversation. Exploring what Canada is building, the challenges we’re facing, and where we go from here. An unapologetically Canadian lens. 🍁 But maintaining a consistent schedule while doing everything myself (and being a little too precious about production quality) is… challenging. So, I’m looking for a partner or strategic sponsor. Not just someone to buy traditional ad space. Instead, an organization that sees value in supporting independent Canadian media and insightful Canadian voices — and wants to get creative about what collaboration could look like. I have ideas. And a few names in mind. I also know that the best connections don’t usually come from a prospect list. 👉 Here’s my not-so-subtle callout: ⤵️ If you know an organization (or someone at one) that might see the opportunity here, I’d love an intro. This DIY podcast host has big ideas, a growing audience, and a stubborn commitment to worthwhile conversations. I just need a little more time to have them. 😉🎙️ P.S. The latest Canada Now (@canadanowmedia) episode featuring the founders of @hoochybooch is out now! 🙌 A conversation with the husband-and-wife duo behind a Vancouver kombucha company about building and scaling a Canadian beverage brand. Catch it on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. 🔗 Links in bio. #CanadianBusiness #CanadianPodcast #SupportCanadian #CanadianMedia #CanadaNow

There’s a difference between surviving and scaling a business. In the early days, saying yes to every opportunity can help you get established. But as your business grows, the decisions change. Kristin Zerbin (@notyourbasicboochie), co-founder of Vancouver-based kombucha company Hoochy ’Booch (@hoochybooch), shares a lesson from more than a decade of building a Canadian consumer brand alongside her husband, Liam Moore (@boochdaddy). It’s one of the insights from our conversation about what it really takes to grow a business in Canada.

I’d love some ideas 👇🏼 . #snackish #vancouverevents #thanksgiving #givingback #contentcreator

Tomorrow, it begins. Frontier Summit 2026 opens for its 5th year in Vancouver in less than 24 hours. Five years ago, Frontier Collective started as a simple idea: that the most valuable thing in the frontier age isn’t the technology itself, it’s the connective tissue around it. The trust, the relationships, the spaces where the right people find each other before the rest of the world catches up. Tomorrow, top global hand-selected leaders from across innovation, humanity, AI, health, climate, society, capital, policy, well-being and culture arrive in our city for three days built around real conversation, not another boring conference. 🔹 Day 1: Confronting Reality 🔹 Day 2: Reckoning 🔹 Day 3: Purpose In the room: leaders from Microsoft, Cohere, IBM Research, OpenAI, AMD, the Gates Foundation, and the WHO. The Honourable Harjit Sajjan. The U.S. Science Envoy for Fusion Energy. Gary Marcus. Founders, investors, scientists, artists, NY Times Bestselling authors, and athletes. And a city that gets to show them what it’s made of. Thank you to our presenting partner @vancitycu , and our sponsors and partners, our speakers, and the team who has worked around the clock to make this happen. The opening reception is tomorrow at 6pm. The closing party is Thursday on the water. See you tomorrow. 🤝 #FrontierSummit2026 #TheInflectionPoint #Vancouver

Frontier Summit isn’t just the people on stage. It’s the people behind every detail. This week, global and local leaders, founders, and investors arrive in Vancouver for three days at The Inflection Point. What they’ll remember isn’t only the ideas. It’s how this city made them feel. And that comes from the small businesses, makers, startups and artisans who pour their craft into every moment. A few we’re proud to work with this year: @talaysaytours @atelier.758 @bendy.class @supergroupchat @maris.dae @supergroupchat @tofugosnacks @bendy.class @hoochybooch @containerbrewing @sunawellness and more Every one of them is building something real here. When the world comes to Vancouver, we want it to meet them. If you’re at Summit, go find them and say hi and follow them. #frontiersummit2026 powered by @vancitycu
