And if you live in PDX, you can swing by the Suckerpunch retail store on Stark St. to pick up your kit.

The Dry Goods Beverage Co.
Napa Valley, CA
Husband-and-wife team Jake and Adrienne Krausz of The Dry Goods Beverage Co. believe that whether you're having alcohol or not, everyone deserves a good drink. With a background in wine-making and cocktail creation and wanting to cut back on booze for health and lifestyle reasons, these two combined their powers and thus, The Dry Goods Beverage Co. was born in the wine-soaked town of Napa Valley.

Ocean Beach Cafe
San Francisco, CA
Owner Joshua James (aka Josh the Non-Alcoholic) is on a mission to change the world. After a 20 year career in hospitality, Josh took a break from the drinking culture and with this came mental clarity, ambition and drive. He used his experience, taste, and mindset to create Ocean Beach Cafe: a booming cafe, NA bottle shop, and event space by the ocean.

BrightLife Beverage Co.
Laguna Beach, CA
BrightLife Beverage Co. is Laguna Beach’s premier non-alcoholic beverage supply company. Says CEO / owner Jonny Cummings: “I love a good beer or cocktail, but I don’t want it to slow me down. Our shop is for the doers - the early-risers, the late-night drivers, the breast-feeding or pregnant mothers, the surfers, hikers, bikers, active folks, parents, and anyone who doesn’t want to compromise on taste or experience but don't want the negative effects of alcohol.”

Bonus:
Total Wine + BevMo!
Multiple Locations
Closer to a big box beverage emporium like Total Wine + More or BevMo! (California only)? Fret not. These warehouse stores have, well, lots of wares in store for you. Aisles upon aisles of non-alcoholic.
