Brew the Himalayas at home with our authentic Tongba and Chhaang DIY Kits.
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.
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.
Yak&Brew is the brainchild of founder Dawa and offers the world’s first DIY starter kit that brings authentic Tongba and Chhaang into your own home. Born from a deeply personal mission, this product introduces these Himalayan brews to the US not only with their bold, earthy flavors but also with the rich cultural heritage they carry. Rooted in generations of brewing wisdom, Yak&Brew reimagines a timeless tradition for the modern homebrewer.
Each Tongba or Chhaang DIY kit includes:
Whether you crave the warming earthiness of Tongba on a snowy night or the sweet, tangy refreshment of Chhaang on a summer day, Yak&Brew delivers centuries of Himalayan flavor, made accessible and made yours.
From mountain 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.
