From Members

Since opening America’s first booze-free bottle shop, we’ve watched the alcohol alternatives space explode.
There are now 700+ non-alc brands on the market. Beverage industry data says 85% of them will fail.

Launching is easier than it’s ever been. Building a durable brand is much harder. We created this membership to equip founders with the connections and resources they need to succeed.

A Note From Our Co-Founders

Ever since we opened America’s first booze-free bottle shop, Spirited Away, we’ve been thrilled to watch the growth of the alcohol alternatives space.

Now, we’re applying our non-alc know-how to help you stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. There are 600+ alcohol alternatives brands on the market today.

Beverage industry data shows over 85% of these brands will fail.

Yes—while it’s easier than ever to launch a non-alc beverage brand, it’s harder than ever to grow one. That’s why we launched these resources: to equip you with the tools you need to survive and thrive.

As non-alc industry experts passionate about expanding this industry, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
