Danielle Brooks did not like kombucha when she first tried it, but she learned to love the fizzy drink after itseemingly cured her stomach issues in 2007.

Eight years later, she’s doubling down on the fermented beverage with her husband, Noah, by pairing herlove for kombucha with his love for ice cream floats.

“(Noah) came up with the idea of putting frozen yogurt with kombucha and making a float,” Brooks said.“So we started the food truck last summer and it took off. I was selling out left and right, and everyone wasexcited about the concept of the floats, so I was like, ‘I want a tap room.'”

Now, the food truck runs only at private events. Thecouple used savings from their previous house-flipping business and funded the creation ofAmerican Cultures, a kombucha taproom andfrozen yogurt shop at 3233 Tejon St. The 1,200-square-foot location seats 50 people.

Kombucha is a fermented black or green tea.Brooks said an average glass sold by AmericanCultures contains about 30 calories and threegrams of sugar. At American Cultures, a 16-ounceglass of kombucha costs $5 and a float, made withCloud Top yogurt, is $6. The taproom also serves64-ounce growlers.

The American Cultures menu also offers chai tea, iced tea, Method Roaster’s cold-brew coffee and RebelOats oatmeal.

While kombucha can be made alcoholic, American Cultures is a non-alcoholic taproom. The amount ofalcohol in their kombucha is comparable to a serving of sauerkraut.

The company does not make its own fermented tea. Instead, American Cultures serves kombucha from avariety of manufacturers, including Happy Leaf Kombucha, which has a taproom in Edgewater.
