Roots and Leaves is the gluten-free, vegan, low-carb summer beverage you need in your life

If you've got a gluten intolerance, live the vegan life, are trying to lay off the carbohydrates, or you're generally a little more conscious about what you consume, then we're going to go out on a limb and say that you probably struggle to find an (enjoyable) alcoholic beverage that covers all bases. Well, say hello to your new summer sip, Roots and Leaves.


Roots and Leaves is a hopped ginger beer brewed (naturally) right here in our own backyard by the craft-beer legends at Fortitude Brewing Co in Mount Tamborine. The spicy Queensland ginger and fruity aromas of the hops combine to create a zesty and refreshing naturally brewed drop, which comes in at a sessionable 3.5 percent.

It’s gluten free, vegan, 99 percent sugar free and naturally low in carbohydrates. Genius, right? Plus, it comes in a rad-looking can, because let’s be honest, everybody loves a tinnie. So there you have it – a coeliac-friendly plant-based beverage to get you through the summer. This magical ginger beer is available at selected stockists across the coast. Head to the Roots and Leaves website to find out where to get your mitts on them.
