Kolokol Kvass is finally set up for the Super 1 Food stores and is now available at the Helena, MT location. Hearty thanks to Wayne Hudlemeyer from Hayden, ID for all his help.

Currently, contacts are being established to start delivering Kolokol Kvass to Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Fingers are "crossed", as they say. As always, Kolokol couldn't do it without your constant support.

Kolokol Kvass is making its way farther both North and South at the same time, coming to Bigfork, MT and Dillon, MT.

The two new locations being added are: a locally owned unique diner and catering business, right along Kalispell's Flathead Lake shoreline, called The Great Northern Gourmet (check out their website: www.gngmt.com), and the other is the Van's IGA serving the great folks of Dillon, MT. Thank you very much for your support. Stop by these two locations and grab a "Kolokol," it'll be good for you.

It's true. Aug 29 Kolokol Kvass attended a telephone conference meeting with six brokers who work with UNFI West warehouses. The said brokers deal with UNFI locations in Oregon and Washington states, which service hundreds of independent stores as well as big chains like While Foods, Kroger, Town & Country etc. Fingers crossed, Kolokol Kvass is working to establish a relationship with UNFI to expand it's growing market farther up and down the West Coast.

For being so little known to the general public, I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised to come across a few people who are experimenting with culturing their own varieties of kvass at home. Even though Kolokol Kvass manufactures traditional bread kvass, the flavor and the nutritional benefits of other types, made from fruits and vegetables, have their own merits. Get inspired to try something new!

We keep hearing from people all around about how they discovered the yummy bready goodness of Kolokol Kvass. After opening the Online Store, we have been shipping product out to different parts of the country.

To our surprise, the response from small specialty foods locations has been as great as from nationally recognized stores like Albertsons and Natural Grocers. Surprised not because we didn't think people wouldn't like Kolokol Kvass, but due to the obscurity of such a product in the US market.

We received word from stores in Kansas, Colorado, and Utah, which expressed interest in carrying Kolokol Kvass. Requests from New York to Washington have come to our notice. Unfortunately, at the present time there are no efficient ways of delivering product to all these locations. The good news, however, is that more people are learning about Kolokol Kvass.

A local distributor (an off-shoot of UNFI), which covers Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, providing services to grocery stores as well as parks, colleges, and private ranches, has also approached us at the request of several customers who are interested in carrying Kolokol Kvass.

All this simply goes to show that interest in Kolokol Kvass is growing. We want to say "Thank you" to all our customers, fans, and supporters.

Keep tasting it, loving it, and craving it.

Being approached by the store's staff, Kolokol Kvass couldn't say no.

Located in a touristy spot of Montana, where Made in Montana products are eagerly supported, it's a nice place for such small start up to be.

Summer Sun Garden in Missoula is another locally owned specialty foods stop that decided to carry Kolokol Kvass. Thank you, Jared.

As of Thursday, February 6, Kolokol Kvass will be available at five more locations. Four of them are some of the busiest Albertsons stores in the whole state of Montana, all four located in Billings. The fifth is being added in Missoula, MT, by the name of Summer Sun Garden & Brew, having received numerous requests from their customers to start selling Kolokol Kvass, making it total of 30 stores altogether around the state by the end of this week.

We keep hearing the encouraging feedback from our customers over and over again. Thank you very much to all who have shared the word about Kolokol Kvass with those who are out of our direct reach.

Last, not least. Taste testing every barrel of freshly made kvass, our thoughts and hopes are filled with anticipation of every one who is still to become part of this experience.

We have added yet another store, this time in Great Falls - Albertsons on 3rd Steet.

This is a great opportunity to send a bottle of "Kolokol" to someone you know as a gift.
