At Hip Pop we add a living culture to all of our drinks to support gut health - including our Living Soda. We harness a bacteria called Bacillus Coagulans which has undergone rigorous scientific studies. You get these live, active cultures added to every can of Living Soda.

Unfortunately no. Just like beer, you get the mass-made stuff and then you get carefully craft-brewed sodas. Our Living Soda is craft brewed, using 100% natural ingredients, in small batches on our beautiful farm in Cheshire. All of the production processes are done internally at our brewery, from the brewing itself to the canning of the soda, and packaging and distribution of the drinks.

A functional drink can be broadly defined as any drink with added health benefits, we add your daily dose of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) (1Tbsp per can), a know prebiotic with multiple potential health benefits, although there has been no specific evidence to support the efficacy of ACV. There are some studies that suggest some benefits may include: Supporting weight loss, managing blood sugar levels, reducing belly fat and balancing cholesterol. Also, we add a live culture called Bacillus Coagulans which has undergone rigorous scientific studies and are known to actively support gut health. So yes, Living Soda can be considered a functional drink.

No, unlike kombucha living soda doesn't go through a fermentation process.

Yes, as a low-sugar, 100% natural drink with no artificial sweeteners, our Living Soda is a much healthier alternative to regular conventional sodas, which are typically full of sugar and artificial ingredients (known for not being very good to your gut).

Yes, all of our drinks are considered Halal.

Yes, our living soda is safe to drink when pregnant, but it's always a good idea to check with a doctor first, especially if you have any medical conditions.
