Local Roots Kombucha

Local Roots began with the simple goal of creating a better for you and organic alcohol that gives back to the local community as much as it does your gut. Our bold hard kombucha is authentically brewed and pushes the boundaries of the next generation better-for-you alcohol.

Better-for-you alcohol exploding over 150% to $4B in 2020.
Local Roots up 284% in the Southwest, from #5 to #2 in category growth, since COVID.
We believe traction, capacity runway, and brand position enable Local Roots to deepen distribution footprint, expand nationwide, and compete on a scale akin to large craft beer and RTD cocktail brands.

We’re looking forward to a year with a focus on marketing, innovation, and liquid-to-lips, on a mission to change the way the world thinks about alcohol.
