Get your Tongba DIY Kit and brew authentic Tongba or Chhaang, traditional Himalayan drinks, right from your kitchen!
Maybe you have heard of the Himalayas or trekked their rugged trails. Maybe you have shared a round of Tongba or Chhaang in a mountain village. Or maybe those names still sound like exotic birds. Either way, you are in the right place.
Yak&Brew, founded by Dawa, is the world’s first DIY fermentation kit that lets you brew authentic Tongba and Chhaang at home. Born from a deeply personal mission, this project introduces these traditional Himalayan brews to the U.S. not only for their bold, earthy flavors but also for the rich cultural heritage they carry. Rooted in generations of brewing wisdom, Yak&Brew reimagines a timeless tradition for the modern homebrewer.
Tongba and Chhaang are living traditions of the Himalayas. These fermented millet or millet-rice brews are passed around firelit Sherpa hearths, poured during sacred Limbu rituals in Ilam, and shared at everyday gatherings across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim, and the foothills of Darjeeling. With every batch, Yak&Brew carries this spirit forward, celebrating heritage, community, and the enduring craft of fermentation.
Each Tongba or Chhaang DIY kit includes:
Whether you are craving the earthy warmth of Tongba on a snowy evening or the sweet and tart refreshment of Chhaang on a hot summer day, Yak&Brew delivers centuries of Himalayan culture with modern simplicity.
From forest cabins to desert hideaways, more than 600 trailblazers have already joined the Yak&Brew movement, recreating this ritual of warmth, courage, and connection. Channel the spirit of the Gurkhas. Share a piece of the Himalayas.
The next time someone asks, What is Tongba? or What is Chhaang? you will have the perfect answer and the perfect brew to share.
