New kids on the block, Cellarest Beer Project, want you to reenvision what you think when you hear the word “wild.” Co-founder and fellow fermentation-lover, Mark Goodwin, explains that at Cellarest, they don’t make beer, yeast makes beer. In particular, Wild yeast, captured right in their West Asheville neighborhood. Mark considers their crew “yeast wranglers,” which is something we at Buchi can identify with! We're honored to have Buchi cans behind the bar, making friends with other local favorites.
Delicious Beer That's Locally Made in Asheville
Using 100% North Carolina grain, locally sourced yeast, and seasonal ingredients in wood barrels, the beers that emerge from Cellarest are the true product of their environment, unique and complex each time. Mark is inspired by the diverse WNC microclimates and all they provide: bountiful botanicals and, let’s face it, really good water for beer!
With the goal of creating a hub, a community place, a warm environment where everyone feels welcome, it’s no wonder their outdoor patio has been swarming with patrons since it opened its doors in February. If you haven’t made it out to Cellarest Beer Project yet, stop by this summer for food trucks, live music, and, of course, wild beer.

From a small kombucha startup to North America’s leading fermented private label beverage manufacturer producing for the country’s top retailers.
For many, the science behind and the benefits of fermentation are somewhat of a mystery. We’ll walk you through the why’s, how’s and what’s of the fermentation process.
We’ve been on a mission for over 16 years to craft beverages that are not only delicious, but make a positive impact.
It is with a mix of gratitude and thoughtful consideration that we announce the retirement of our 12oz Buchi Kombucha bottle line. You can still find Buchi Kombucha on tap at select locations, and our Wild Pop and Tepache cans will continue to be available at regional retailers.
This change is part of our commitment to growing sustainably and making an even bigger difference through our work in private label manufacturing at FedUp Foods, our parent company.
We want to thank you, our loyal customers and supporters. Your support means everything to us, and we’re excited to continue sharing our journey with you!
