The Good Stuff
We're a small, women-led team making kombucha that tastes great and is good for you.
No shortcuts, no harsh vinegar bite. Just thoughtfully brewed booch - for the kombucha-curious and obsesssed.
Small team. big dreams.
HANNAH BANICK
Founder • Co-Owner • Head Brewer
Started brewing kombucha in her dorm closet and never stopped! Hannah is the reason Han’s tastes the way it does - less vinegar, more flavor, always experimenting.
- Favorite way to drink Han’s: Straight from the can after a brew day!
- Go-to flavor: Ginger Hibiscus
- Fun fact: Still has a SCOBY from the early days
Kate Lubing
Co-Owner
Met Hannah over a tasting and immediately got it. Kate helped turn Han’s from a great product into what you see today with the HK Brewing Co Taproom & Bar!
- Favorite way to drink Han’s: In a cocktail at the taproom
- Favorite part of HK Brewing Co: The people!
- Fun fact: Background in cooking
Austin O'Brien
Assistant Brewer • Street Team
If Han’s is being brewed, packed, or delivered, Austin’s probably involved. Equal parts production, logistics, and boots-on-the-ground energy.
- Favorite way to drink Han’s: Ice cold after being outside all day
- Go-to flavor: Whatever the current seasonal is!
- Fun fact: Knows every step of the process front to back
Maddie Baer
Social Media Manager • Content Queen
Former HK bartender turned content queen, Maddie knows the brand from the inside out!
She keeps Han’s showing up on your feed, your stories, and your DMs, making sure everything we’re putting out actually makes it to you.
- Favorite way to drink Han’s: Walking her dog, Cowboy!
- Go-to flavor: Whatever the current seasonal is
- Fun fact: Has probably made your drink at HK Brewing Co and answered your DM
Kevin Banick
Handy Man • Fixer of All Things
If something breaks, Kevin fixes it. If something doesn’t exist yet, Kevin builds it.
From taproom tweaks to behind-the-scenes brewery fixes, Kevin keeps everything running smoothly so the rest of us can focus on making darn good booch.
- Favorite way to drink Han’s: right after an ice cold Montucky
- Fun fact: Can fix just about anything (we’ve tested this)
FIsher & Lenny
certified good boys
Head of vibes. Tail wags. Occasional quality control.
Fisher and Lenny are always around making sure the energy stays high and the team takes snack breaks when needed. Big fans of long walks, brewery hangs, and being everyone’s favorite coworkers.
- Drinks: Water… but emotionally supportive of booch
- Other: 10/10 good boys, no notes
