The Bu was founded in 2011 by Gary Hawes, a surfing, snowboarding biochemist living in Hawaii. Hawes started drinking kombucha to help him recover from his intense workouts, but was turned off by the heavy, vinegary taste that each brand offered. Realizing the potential health and wellness aspects of kombucha, Hawes retreated to his garage and applied his scientific knowledge, determined to develop a kombucha that actually tastes great. Today, The Bu has grown into a functional beverage company focused on expanding into new segments of the healthy beverage category. We sell healthy beverages in the refrigerated sections of retailers across the United States as well as direct to consumers. At The Bu, we are a team of passionate people who are committed to offering innovative solutions to the beverage dilemma. We create high-functioning functional beverages that give consumers the opportunity to love the experience of drinking healthy. Our group is collaborative and encouraging; we celebrate each other’s wins and learn from each other’s mistakes. We work as a group to achieve organizational objectives and to create ongoing growth in the business.
