Harvest Roots Kombucha to close March 3 in Birmingham
Hold onto your hearts—another Birmingham business is closing its doors. Harvest Roots Kombucha’s last day will be Sunday, March 3.
4 years of kombucha and community at Harvest Roots
Harvest Roots opened in the Avondale Mill’s Shopping Center in 2020 as the city’s first-ever kombucha taproom.
Owned by Pete Halupka and Lindsay Whitaker, the small biz brought fermented products like krauts, kimchi and kombucha to the community.
You likely saw many Harvest Roots products around town over the years at places like
- Carrigan’s Public House
- Golden Age Wines
- Pepper Place
- TrimTab Brewing Co
- Urban Standard

Harvest Roots Kombucha shared the news of its March 3 closure on their Instagram today, February 28, stating:
“With hearts full of gratitude, we want to share that we have decided to close Harvest Roots Kombucha…This was a difficult decision to make, but we know it is the right one.
Our aspirations and dreams of what Harvest Roots would become have come true – a space that so clearly went beyond just serving a tart, bubbly soda.
It was a gathering ground for brilliant discussions, emotions shared on bad days and great days, sober friendships, artisan beverage nerds, activism, local art and music and dance parties.”
