We’re excited to share that Imbibe recently featured Lane Ezell, Beverage Director at The Hope Farm, in its article “What’s Your Go-To Drink for Summer Adventuring?” Published on June 22, 2026, the piece gathered favorite warm-weather drink picks from beverage professionals across the country, each chosen for portability, refreshment, and easy enjoyment outdoors.

In the feature, Lane shares that one of his personal favorites for outdoor adventures is pineapple tepache, a lightly fermented drink he describes as low-ABV, refreshing, and especially well-suited for hot-weather outings. He notes that tepache offers a quick sugar and natural electrolyte boost while also being packed with probiotics, making it both flavorful and functional for summer activities.

The article also highlights Lane’s suggestion for taking tepache a step further by mixing it with light rum or beer to make a Tepache Chelada. He adds a practical tip for transport, recommending plastic Nalgene bottles or a Hydro Flask since tepache is an active ferment and pressure can build quickly in rigid sealed glass bottles.

We love seeing The Hope Farm included in conversations that celebrate creativity, hospitality, and thoughtful beverage choices for every kind of occasion, from the bar to the beach bag.
