39: Brewed for Change: Kombucha, Community & Queer Visibility

In this inspiring episode of the LGBTQ Outdoors Podcast, hosts Justin Yoder and Special Guest Co-Host Justin Bikley sit down in the Oregon forest with Brew Dr. Kombucha founder Matt Thomas to celebrate a new partnership rooted in shared values: inclusivity, sustainability, and community. The episode explores Matt’s journey from launching tea houses to building one of the largest organic kombucha brands in the U.S., all while staying true to his mission of environmental responsibility and radical acceptance. Through laughter, reflection, and powerful storytelling, the conversation underscores the importance of visibility, representation, and the power of choosing to do business differently—for people and planet.
