The brand’s attitude is a refreshingly honest and light-hearted view of the world, serving those who seek a better, more wholesome life and the good feeling that comes from making better choices - the products we consume, the people we surround ourselves with and the experiences we go through. Our products include multi-award-winning soda, kombucha and CBD kombucha.
Today we are available nationwide through retailers including Sainsbury’s, M&S, Waitrose, Co-op, Morrisons, Booths and Bidfood. Since launching in 2019, Hip Pop has experienced remarkable year-on-year growth and is based in the heart of Manchester city centre
