I can't tell you how many times I've gotten this question from (mostly well-meaning, lovable) skeptics. Whether it's at a farmer's market or a family event, someone almost always pulls me aside and in a curious, albeit hesitant, tone asks me about the efficacy of Fire Brew.
Other questions generally include:
- How do you know it works?
- Do you have proof?
- Have you tested it?

They give me the chance to wax on about all of Fire Brew's benefits and alternative therapies in general. 😁🤓
