Get your Tongba DIY Kit and brew authentic Tongba or Chhaang, traditional Himalayan drinks, right from your kitchen!
Maybe you’ve heard of the Himalayas or even trekked their rugged trails. Maybe you’ve shared a round of Tongba or Chhaang in a mountain village. Or maybe those names still sound like exotic birds. Either way, you’re in the right place.
Crafted by our founder Dawa, Yak&Brew 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 aims to introduce these traditional Himalayan brews to the U.S., not just for their bold, earthy flavor, but for the rich cultural heritage they embody. Rooted in generations of brewing wisdom, Yak&Brew reimagines a timeless tradition for the modern homebrewer.
Tongba and Chhaang are traditional fermented millet drinks, shared during fireside gatherings of Sherpas, sacred rituals in Limbu villages, and everyday moments across Nepal, Tibet, Sikkim, and Darjeeling. With each batch, Yak&Brew honors that legacy, offering a soulful celebration of heritage, history, and the enduring art of fermentation.
Each Tongba DIY kit includes:
Whether you’re 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, over 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.
And the next time someone asks, What is Tongba? or What is Chhaang? You’ll have the perfect answer, and the perfect brew to share.
