About Us

Flavor Worth Fighting For

Mass-produced pickles and fermented foods often taste flat, overly processed, and...well...boring. At Barrel + Brine, we believe every bite should be bright, tangy, bold, and full of life. We craft small-batch pickles, artisan sauerkraut, authentic kimchi, and fresh kombucha that are as vibrant as the farms and people who inspire them.

Our Story

Barrel + Brine started with one simple idea: bring back flavor worth sharing. We grew up in kitchens where preserving the season’s bounty was tradition, not trend. That love for fermentation evolved into a mission to create handcrafted foods for people who value quality over convenience.

From our Buffalo kitchen, we turned that passion into a craft. Partnering with local farms, experimenting with recipes that celebrate global flavor traditions, and sharing the results at local markets. Today, you’ll still find us doing what we love: filling jars, brewing kombucha, and keeping small-batch food culture alive.

Our Craft

Our difference starts with how we work:

  • Locally sourced ingredients: We work with nearby farms to capture peak-season freshness.
  • Small-batch production: Every jar and bottle is made in limited runs, ensuring consistency and maximum flavor.
  • Preservative and Additive Free: From our pickles, to our kimchi, all additive, preservative and dye free.
