Grüvi

What Grüvi does

Grüvi (legal entity: Spirit Free Beverages Co) is a Denver-headquartered, privately held non-alcoholic craft beverage company founded in 2019 by siblings Niki and Anika Sawni. The company produces and sells dealcoholized craft beers and wines targeting the sober-curious, moderation-lifestyle, and Dry January consumer segments. Its portfolio spans four core SKUs of NA beer (Golden Era lager, Juicy Dayz IPA, Weekday Wit Belgian wheat, Mocha Moment nitro stout) and four NA wines (Dry Secco, Bubbly Rosé, Sangria, Dry Red Blend), sold individually or as variety packs.

The company's production technology combines two primary methods: (a) arrested fermentation for beers — closely monitoring and adjusting variables such as temperature to keep ABV below 0.5% while preserving traditional brewing character — and (b) gentle dealcoholization for wines, where alcohol is removed from fully brewed wine without stripping texture or tannins. A separate non-fermented process is used for the original 0.0% ABV sparkling wines, retaining natural grape sugars. Differentiation is reinforced by third-party validation (World Beer Cup Gold 2022 for Golden Era, IWSC 95 points 2024 for Sangria, plus 25+ awards) and dietary accessibility (gluten-reduced beers, gluten-free/kosher/vegan/sulfite-free wines).

Grüvi operates a three-channel GTM: (1) a direct-to-consumer Shopify storefront at getgruvi.com with a subscription tier (10% discount, free shipping, pause/cancel flexibility); (2) wholesale distribution to 1,000+ US and Canadian retailers including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Natural Grocers, Total Wine, Meijer, Binny's, Loblaws, FreshCo, and Well.ca; and (3) an on-tap draft program launched in 2024 across Toronto hospitality venues including Park Hyatt's Writers Room and Toronto Cricket Club. The company has raised $2M in seed funding from Rockies Venture Club (Sept 2021) and remains founder-led.
