About Ultra Culture

Brunswick’s go-to for lacto-fermented heat, Ultra Culture turns fiery experimentation into a weekend ritual. Regulars keep bottles of the cucumber miso tucked in their fridges for daily splashes, but the insider move is booking an afternoon workshop. Hosts Alex and Holly walk small groups through the craft of live fermentation in their Talbot Street space, unpacking the science behind balanced acid and spice. The session wraps around a shared table over a hearty lunch, finished with warm cookies and batch-brew filter coffee.

  • Fermentation Workshops: Hands-on weekend classes led by Alex and Holly guide guests through the fundamentals of lacto-fermentation and custom sauce blending.
  • Small-Batch Sauces: Bottled small-batch staples like the umami-rich cucumber miso deliver punchy, layered heat for home kitchens.
  • Hospitality Lunch Spread: Class sessions conclude with a generous shared lunch, batch filter coffee, and fresh cookies.
