Stevens Point Brewery Commits To Non-Alcoholic Beer

On September 16, The Stevens Point Brewery, one of America’s oldest continuously operating breweries, announce that is making a major leap into the non-alcoholic beverage market.

The Wisconsin-based brewery has installed the United States’ most advanced BrewVo® system, a revolutionary dealcoholization technology capable of producing world-class, award-winning NA beers and ciders. This move not only allows the brewery to launch NA versions of its own popular brands but also announces significant new contract brewing capacity for the underserved non-alcoholic market. This investment is a major strategic shift for the 168-year-old brewery. Having survived Prohibition by diversifying into sodas and other products, the company sees the booming NA category as a similar pivotal opportunity.

“For a category growing in double digits, there is not adequate capacity to support it,” said Joe Martino, Operating Partner, Stevens Point Brewery. “We intend to change that. You need the absolute best NA beers to succeed, and now our door is open>”

Developed by Sustainable Beverage Technologies of Golden, CO, the BrewVo process utilizes a unique combination of membrane separation technology and traditional brewing science to preserve full-strength flavor without the alcohol. It is a method that rejects shortcuts, avoiding bioengineered yeasts or arrested fermentation in favor of a results-driven process that has earned more international awards for quality than any other NA technology.

Vermont Craft Breweries Decline

For almost a decade, Vermont’s craft beer scene has soared. And although “The Green Mountain State” is still renowned for its beers, with brewers such as The Alchemist, Hill Farmstead and Lawson’s Finest Liquids, that momentum has slowed.

According  to the national trade organization, the Boulder, Colorado-based Brewers Association, Vermont saw more breweries close than open by a 399-335 margin in 2024.

According to the Burlington Fre Press Vermont’s craft brewery growth peaked of 78 breweries in 2022 decreasing to 74 the following year.
