CT Mirror State Policy Editor Erica E. Phillips sat down with Bill Shufelt and John Walker of Milford’s Athletic Brewing Company on March 19, 2025 at Stamford’s Ferguson Library.

Driven by a mission to make non-alcoholic beer mainstream, Bill and John first began test-brewing in a garage in Connecticut. One hundred home-brewed batches later, they had perfected their process and refined their flavors. Then they built an entire business around it; within a few short years it’s become the world’s largest dedicated non-alcoholic brewery.
