NOVA and San Diego Wave FC unveiled their signature hard kombucha La Ola Dragon Fruit at Snapdragon Stadium as the National Women’s Soccer League Club faced Angel City FC on June 17. La Ola is Spanish for “The Wave” and was brewed at NOVA’s facility in Chula Vista. Wave players, coaches, support staff, and front-office personnel collaborated with NOVA brewers to choose the flavor and artwork. NOVA is the official hard kombucha of Wave FC at Snapdragon Stadium where all home matches are played.
“We are proud to brew and create all our beverages here in Southern California,” said NOVA founder Tiago Carneiro in a press release. “The opportunity to collaborate with the Wave and bring our locally brewed beverage to Snapdragon Stadium and across San Diego for fans to enjoy allows soccer fans to have the perfect beverage for watching the world’s game.”
La Ola will be available on the top level of The Sycuan Piers at the south end of the stadium above sections 118 – 120, as well as at the NOVA container bar on the east concourse behind sections 103 – 105. Beginning next week, the hard kombucha will be available on draft, in 16-oz single cans, and in six packs of 12-oz cans at NOVA (and NOVO Brazil Brewing) locations. Retail stores throughout San Diego County will also carry the canned beverage.
“We are delighted to be a part of this collaborative effort with our partners at NOVA Kombucha,” stated Wave President Jill Ellis. “Our players and staff were thrilled to be included in the creation of La Ola Dragon Fruit, as it truly is a drink as unique as our club.”
NOVA has a taproom in Ocean Beach, and all NOVA kombuchas are served at its sister NOVO locations in Chula Vista (Lane Avenue), Imperial Beach, and Otay Ranch Mall. All NOVA hard kombuchas are gluten-free, preservative-free, and vegan.
