GRBJ reports that co-owners Kyle Manning and Matt Hoff first started with home brewing and sharing their kombucha with friends and family.
In a statement to their Facebook page, Manning and Hoff talk about the start of their business:
It all began when we were on a path to leave behind a life of poor health choices and start choosing a more health-conscious one. This is where we fell in love with kombucha a product that immediately provided positive health benefits for us. We want to offer YOU the same positive benefits in kombucha that we found.

College friends take the plunge after reviewers offer overwhelming support.
Two home brewers in Grand Rapids hope to help people find their Zen with the launch of Zenned Out Kombucha, a kombucha microbrewery coming soon to e-commerce.
Co-founders Kyle Manning and Matt Hoff met each other through a mutual friend, at a time when both of them were leaving college and trying to leave behind poor health choices that come with it for a more health-conscious lifestyle.

Hoff started drinking kombucha about five years ago and discovered a positive impact on his personal health. The experience inspired him to want to share the health benefits with as many people as possible, and he and Manning, who were gym partners at the time, began to devise how to turn kombucha brewing into a business.
