Matthew Silbert manages the quality assurance and compliance for Local Roots Kombucha. He was a marine biologist before his passion for brewing inspired him to a career in fermentation microbiology. Last year he attended his first Kombucha Kon in person and fished up the amazing experience by giving a tour of Local Roots to many of the conference participants. Matt is very grateful to have been recently elected to the KBI Board of Directors.
At Kombucha Kon 2020, Matt served as a panelist on the hard kombucha round table. He enjoyed sharing his experiences navigating this new segment of the kombucha industry and felt a great sense of community with the other brewers. Since then he has participated in more hard kombucha panels, helped provide technical support for the Kombucha Kup and meets regularly with the other board members.
