1. Journey of a Waking Dream

Forget the story of a typical brewery. Athletic Brewing Co. was born from a personal desire, a lingering feeling of Bill Shufelt. When he decided to give up alcohol for a healthy lifestyle, he realized a huge void in his soul: the fun, the meetings with friends seemed to lack the bitter, sweet taste of beer. The market at that time was full of bland, soulless non-alcoholic options. As fate would have it, Bill met John Walker, a talented Brewmaster with the same goals. In 2017, that dream was officially planted: to create top-notch non-alcoholic beers, dedicated to those who love an active life but do not want to lose the sophistication in every sip of experience.

And so, from our first dedicated factory in Stratford, Connecticut, the magical journey began. In 2018, our first two brainchildren – Upside Dawn Golden Ale and Run Wild IPA – cried out into the world, bringing with it a completely new breeze. Just one year later, in 2019, that flavor conquered the entire United States. By 2020, they reached a historic milestone: becoming the number 1 best-selling non-alcoholic beer brand. In response to that trust, a second factory in San Diego, California was built.
