A passionate outdoor enthusiast, Yan returned to Val-d’Or, his hometown, about twenty years ago, after a long detour in the metropolis. He’s the ‘orchestra conductor’ behind Ekorce: he develops and brews our different kombucha recipes, in addition to having an excellent knack for surrounding himself with competent people. With his incomparable sense of humor, you can’t help but want to drink a good kombucha with him!

A mechanical engineer by training, Phil is passionate about everything related to beer, directly or indirectly. It was in the SHERBROUE technical group that he had the chance to begin his brewing experiments, and also where he met Jonathan, with whom he opened Le Prospecteur microbrewery in 2014. The idea of brewing kombucha quickly delighted him, which is why 3 years later, he co-founded Ekorce Kombucha. Ekorce couldn’t exist without his skills in marketing, sales, and branding. He’s the guy you want on your team!

Passionate about science and beer brewing, Jo realized his dream in 2014 and, with Phil, opened Le Prospecteur microbrewery in Val-d’Or. There’s no doubt that Jo loves fermentations, because 3 years later, in 2017, he founded Ekorce Kombucha: a new challenge to take on! He’s the ‘alchemist’ at Ekorce. With his knowledge and depth, you always learn something new when you spend an evening with him!
