ATHLETIC BREWING
Athletic Brewing, based in Stratford, CT was founded by Bill Shufelt back in 2017. Bill was working as a trader at a hedge fund, out at work dinners four or five nights a week and finding that alcohol was not fitting in his joy for high performance lifestyle. He began the search for a non-alcoholic option but found the industry was falling flat.
“One night after I'd stopped drinking, my wife and I were walking to dinner, and I was ranting about how terrible the non-alcoholic drinks would be and what an unmet need this was. Finally, she said, "That is an amazing idea! Listen to yourself." It took her pointing it out for me to realize that I even had an idea.”
He teamed up with head brewer John Walker and the rest is history.
